[BUG] Bahnschrift font is not bolded in PDFs

as the title says, in win10 with Writer, when I use that font and sometimes I make it bold on .odf file, when I turn the file to PDF the bold effect disappear everywhere. this is an old problem.
what can I do other than not using that font that perhaps I love?

Bugs should be posted in Bugzilla.

See bugs tdf#108497, and variable font support on which it would depend tdf#103596.

Maybe you could try Google font Signika as a possible substitute?

Thanks for the tip - very useful!

SOLUTION I found:

in win10, we should convert it by using “microsoft print to PDF”, this eliminates the problem.

Just to note: “The downside of ‘Print to PDF’ is that the receiver can’t convert the PDF into text or select text from the PDF.”

I would rather use a different font than to lose bookmark links, hyperlinks, footnote links, etc.

In any event, I now always try to substitute proprietary fonts with open source fonts.

Thank you my friend!

Bahnschrift is a variable font and LibreOffice didn’t properly embed variable fonts in PDF prior to 7.5 release.
