[reportlab-users] How can I use Bold or italic for CIDFont (ex.HeiseiMin-W3)

[Hearn]

I want to use HeiseiKakuGo-W5 font but I looks like bold and italic do not
work.

I reference to txt2pdf
http://www.sanface.com/txt2pdffaq.html#Bold

So, I try to set font "HeiseiKakuGo-W5-90ms-RKSJ-H bold".
Of course, it doesn't find this font.

I try to dig the pdf source.Then I found a dirty hack.

replace pdf font obj define(sorry,I dont know pdf spec)

Just open original pdf  with simple text Editor

Step:
# add new font obj define

#replace font referance
