Hi Reddy,

In <*font=arial.ttf,size=9*>, the "arial.ttf" is font file that contains the font you want to use. That font file contains the Arial font.

If you want to use the Arial Bold font, the font file is "arialbd.ttf".

<*font=arialbd.ttf,size=9*>

If you are using ChartDirector 7.x on Windows or macOS, you can use the font family name instead of the font file name, like:

<*font=Arial Bold,size=9*>

(Older versions of ChartDirector only support font file name, not font family name.)

Regards
Peter Kwan
