TEXT Does not Bold

Benjamin Banks Jan 29, 2019 7:31 AM

I have a very simple task; make a text bold in the viz. It is a BAN Viz, but nothing I do makes the text bold. I have changed all the settings and made them all bold, but nothing changes... they all say it is bold, but it is obviously not bold.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Hey Benjamin,

If you are working with a label, make sure you format the respective label.

If that doesn't work you can go to the Text in the Marks Card and try to edit and bold it there.

Hope any of those solutions work. Otherwise you can post your workbook and I can try to see what is going on. If you found this helpful or if this answers your question please mark it so other users can refer to it. Thanks!

Best,
Diego.

Hi,

I have came across these situations. Here is my approach:
First go to text label from marks card edit it and check whether the fields on label are bold or not, if not then make it bold and check.
Next If BANs are still not showing bold then right click on the field from marks card and go to format>Pane>Font and make it bold and check.
In this way you can resolve this. It works for me. Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks for the reply. However, this does not work. I have tried many times. There is some sort of bug going on it it.

and When I un-bold it (it looks the same)....

Nothing I do helps with this, Tableau thinks it is bold but it is not.

I cannot upload this workbook, unfortunately.

Upload a workbook. There are so many things that it could be.

Change the font like Tableau Semibold or Medium and check. Sometimes tableau book font appears like nothing change. Else without seeing the workbook it will be difficult for us.

Seems like changing the font to something "Bold" works. Not sure what the issue was/is, but I changed it all to the bold Tableau and it works. Thanks.

Hi Benjamin,
Are you perhaps using a Mac with OS Majave? If you are that was addressed in the latest maintenance release:

Tableau Desktop 2018.3.3 | Tableau Software

Regards,
Gerardo
