Re: Font shape substitute for boldface

[Liang-Ting Chen]

Haha, thanks for the pointer! 

After looking into the example and the log again, I realised that the font definition is only loaded

after a CJK character is used. 

So, a local solution is clear -- load the font definition explicitly and declare the font shape:

> \input{c70bkai.fd}

> \DeclareFontShape{C70}{bkai}{b}{n}{<-> CJKb * bkaiu}{\CJKbold}

This solved my problem.

Cheers,

Does the code in `examples/UTF8.tex` help?
