Many thanks for your reply. I did not have the theasaurus or the help package installed so I added those but unfortunately it did not correct the problem. On Thu, 2004-11-18 at 14:04 -0500, H. S. wrote:

I'm running a recently installed up to date Sid distribution. I am having a problem where text in OpenOffice Writer that is marked as bold is still showing up as plain text. Can anyone advise how I might solve this problem?
this may be a problem with the rendering of text onscreen. In
particular I notice that Bitstream Vera Charter (which was the default
font when I first installed OOo) Bold does not look any different
ONSCREEN than the non-bold. Try changing the font, e.g. to Times, see
if that helps. If that solves your problem, then you just need to
switch your default font to something that displays properly. If you
really like charter and want to keep it as your default, than that
demands a proper fix I unfortunatley am not competent to tell you how
to arrange.
g'luck! matt
Actually, yes. Since when I was having a problem in seeing bold fonts onscreen, the exported PDF files looked okay with bold fonts printed nicely.
I guess the problem would be in the fonts rendering on the system. I have these packages installed:
$> dpkg -l xfs* *ftt* mstt* | grep ^ii
ii xfs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X font server
ii xfs-xtt 1.4.1.xf430-5 X-TrueType font server
ii xfstt 1.6-2 X Font Server for TrueType fonts
ii fttools 1.2-13.1 FreeType font utilities.
ii msttcorefonts 1.1.12 Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts
To the OP, try installing the last package above (or others too if needed), and see if that makes a difference. Sorry I can't be more specific(its been too long since I encountered this problem), but I do recall that the problem went away when I installed one or two additional packages. You have already tried openoffice related ones, try giving the above ones a shot.
