Gidday,
When I produce graphs, I generally convert them to postscript via "graph
export".
I was asked today if it was possible to "bold" some of the text that I'd
placed in a graph.
After a quick look at the manuals, my response was no. Consequently, I
got around the problem of adding emphasis to this text by increasing its
size. Nevertheless, I can see situations where bolding text or placing
text in italics might come in handy.
Obviously postscript provides the fonts required for this, but I'm not
sure that the default font used by Stata does. I suspect not.
Does anyone know how text is bolded in postscript? Is it some sort of
ASCII character sequence? I'm thinking that if there is some ASCII
sequence like this, while it may have no effect on the Stata graph, it
might survive the "graph export" translation to postscript.
Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
Kieran
