Hi,
I am getting this error from render tool.
I am using text tool to make nice and clean report and this is how it looks in text tool
This is the output from render tool - it isn't bolded.
and this is what I want to achieve
The last screen is from word document so I believe I have this font installed. It is just bolded arial.
Any suggestions? I found couple of topics for this problem but I don't think they have been resolved.
@Emil_Kos , there is a similar case here https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Render-tool-PDF-bold-an-italic-are-not...
Hi @Emil_Kos
What type of file are you rendering to? The attached workflow renders to a pdf and displays correctly.
It's also possible(but unlikely) that you don't actually have the arial bold font file on your computer. To check, open a command prompt, move to c:\windows\fonts and type dir arial*.*. My computer show this
The 4 first files correspond to Arial regular, bold, bold italics and italics. If you only have the arial.ttf, then the others aren't installed. Note. You have to do this in a command window, because Windows applies a special format to the fonts directory in File Explorer and you can never show all font file names
You can still get a bold effect in programs like Word, without the specific files, the because the Windows font rendering system can use the regular font and simulate bold and italics. Though I'm not privy to the inner workings of the Alteryx rendering engine, I think it's probably trying to specify the font files to be included in the output document and can't find the arialdb.ttf file.

Hi @AZuc,
I saw this post, and it wasn't helpful. I would prefer to sort it out myself instead of writing to support.
Hi @danilang,
I am extracting to pdf.
I will check if I have Arial bold installed. I was under the impression that if I could use it in my word document, I would have it installed on my pc. I will check that route on Monday, and I will definitely let you know.
