Bold text are ignored from html to pdf

See original GitHub issue

Hello, it seens I can’t get the bold text in html files passed to the pdf. I tried different ways to get my text bold but none of the attempts were successful.

My attempts

HTML element <strong></strong>
HTML element <b></b>
CSS property font-weight: bold;

Maybe there is a problem?

A solution that works for my needs : include in the HTML the google font link :

<link` href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

html {
  font-size: 12px;
  font-family: 'Open Sans' !important;
  font-weight: 400;
}

p.bold {
   font-weight: 600;
}

not perfect but it does the job for me

@sulaysumaria No it isn’t, but as I said above, it doesn’t effect production (on linux), only dev on my mac. So I don’t care.
