+When exporting documents to PDF using Telerik WordsProcessing, the bold text may appear "double-bold" in browsers like Edge or Chrome. This issue arises due to font embedding settings or inaccuracies in font file access, specifically with condensed fonts like Arial Narrow Bold.
+This knowledge base article gives some tips how to fix double-bold text rendering issues in PDFs generated by Telerik WordsProcessing.
 
 ## Solution
 
+The "double bold" text appearance in PDF viewers like Edge or Chrome is typically caused by font embedding. Using [FontEmbeddingType.Full]({%slug radpdfprocessing-formats-and-conversion-pdf-settings%}) can sometimes cause duplication if both, regular and bold, font variants are embedded and the viewer applies bold rendering on top. If your style already sets bold, avoid setting the Run.FontWeight property to FontWeights.Bold again. Double-assigning bold can lead to rendering issues.
