Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I've done a quick search for any Japanese Gothic bold font and \
most of them are OTF PostScript Outlines which FOP does not support yet.

AFAIK, MS Gothic has no bold variant. There's a possibility in PDF (PDF
1.4, section 5.5.2, page 321) to automatically derive a bold font from a
normal one (although the result usually doesn't look so nice), but
unfortunately, FOP doesn't support that, yet.

If I were you I'd look in a good font foundry like http://www.linotype.com
for a Japanese Gothic font with a bold variant. You'll actually get
multiple weight grades there. HTH
