Split from this thread.

In the folder below I have loaded both s word doc and the pdf output where the bold is lost.

Can someone please verify with this sample?

    Windows 8 comes with YaHei, but not YaHei Light. I'm not sure where you got it from.

    From your samples, it appears that YaHei Light only has 1 font, the Light. It is not a family, so applying the Bold and/or Italic properties makes Word fake the appearance. Since there is not corresponding Bold font, Word applies a stroke to the outline. This stroke does not print to a PDF. In your sample, the Italic has also been faked by Word by applying a fairly extreme slant to the Light font. This characteristic does print to PDF, but you don't actually have a YaHei Italic, just a slanted normal. This is normal operation for Word, not a bug.

    To get a true Bold, use YaHei instead of YaHei Light. It has a corresponding Bold weight that will print correctly to PDF.
