Hi,
I am trying to bold some part of text in a table but none of the technique I found in documentation works…
In the following example, data contains some value I want in bold format.
#table(
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
align: left,
table.cell([*#data:*]),
...
I read about using * * here Table Function – Typst Documentation
I read about using text weight here Text Function – Typst Documentation
But my text always appears without the bold format.
What am I doing wrong, please ?
Can you please show us the definition of data? Because the above is not enough to reproduce your issue:
#let data = [Foo]
#table(
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
align: left,
[*#data:*],
)
I suspect something inside data is forcing non-bold text
It could also be a problem with your font. Please add which font you are using.
Oh sorry. I was not thinking the data could be a problem itself…
data is a struct in rust that can be formatted like this :
#let data = {f1:"some data", f2: "some other data", ...}
#table(
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
align: left,
[*#data.f1:*],
)
In my example, I try to use #data.f1 in bold.
And my font is : texgyrecursor-regular.ttf that I get from here : typst-as-lib/examples/fonts at main · Relacibo/typst-as-lib · GitHub
I find it very hard to try to help you without a MWE… Your code does not compile.
I’ve refactored to something that (perhaps?) you are trying to achieve…
#let data = (f1:"bold data", f2: "not bold data",)
#table(
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
align: left,
[*#data.f1:*], [#data.f2:],
)
Which leads to
In other words, this code works. Perhaps the font?
font seems fine as well, although it is rather thin:
Are you sure it isn’t bold? Can you maybe provide a screenshot?
I’ve downloaded your font as per the URL and put in my working directory with the following file:
// font-test.typ
#set text(font: "TeX Gyre Cursor")
#let data = (f1:"bold data", f2: "not bold data",)
#table(
columns: (1fr, 1fr),
align: left,
[*#data.f1:*], [#data.f2:],
)
Running:
$ typst compile font-test.typ --font-path .
with Typst 0.13.1 (on Arch Linux BTW), I get:

In my own humble opinion, it is a font problem.
Sorry for my entry data. In fact, I combine typst with rust.
I am a beginner using Typst and I make mistake about the type for “typst only use” with my “struct in rust” in my example. It is also why I need to create a example and I do not expose all my code.
Thank you very much to all of you. I will pay attention to police now.
Just for follow-up…
I’ve added the texgyrecursor-bold.otf file from CTAN: /tex-archive/fonts/tex-gyre/opentype in my working directory. With the same code as my previous post, and the two font files, I get the desired text in bold.
So it was really a font question.
EDIT: And I’ve just found out that Typst does not support (yet) variable fonts.
