How to add weight to characters/Text

0 votes
560 views

The font which I use for typesetting does not have a BOLD style. I wanted to add weight to it so that the characters can simulate a Bold appearance. In InDesign when I tried all the options to do in the Paragraph style options dialog box are disabled. If there’s a way to add in the PA stylesheet I need your help.

Images attached.

TSNgaihte, please see the topic How to Fake a Boldface for a Font without one in the Indic Typesetting document: tiny.cc/indictypesetting. Steps 2 and 3 in those instructions are especially easy to forget.

I do not know anything about InDesign.

How would the need for a Bold weight be handled outside of InDesign, such as on the web and in apps?
