To access the Bold you need to choose Regular and turn on Bold using the application&#8217;s UI controls such as a &#8220;B&#8221; button. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/fonts\/axis-based-fonts\/\">Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Why do I sometimes get a fake Bold?<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>If you choose a weight other than Regular (such as ExtraLight), and then use application controls to turn on Bold, some applications will make a &#8220;fake&#8221; Bold rather than use one of the real ones in the font (SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold, Black). This is because only Regular has an associated Bold counterpart. This is a technical limitation with some apps and OSes. If you are using a weight other than Regular for text and want to make a word or phrase stand out, you will need to select the text and apply one of the heavier weights manually. You can also consider using the &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; family as it has an associated Bold (the same weight as SemiBold). See our <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/fonts\/axis-based-fonts\/\">Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>The Lisu Bosa and Lisu Bosa Lolo families<\/h3>\n<h4><em>I can&#8217;t find the &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; family in this package. Where can I find it?<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; family is distributed in a separate package &#8211; see the <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/lisubosa\/download\/\">Download page<\/a>. Most users do not need this extra font family as the weights are identical to the Light and SemiBold weights of the main font family. The &#8220;Lolo&#8221; family is only for use in older apps that only support weights named <em>Regular<\/em> and <em>Bold<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h4><em>This package only includes the &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; family. Where can I get the full family?<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The two font families are packaged and distributed separately since most people only need the full package. If your package only includes the two-weight &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; family, you can get the full package from the <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/lisubosa\/download\/\">Download page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Can I install both &#8220;Lisu Bosa&#8221; and &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221; families?<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Yes &#8211; and they will appear as separately named families in applications. Most people, however, only need the main family.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Where are the webfont (WOFF\/WOFF2) versions of &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221;?<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>There are no webfont versions of &#8220;Lisu Bosa Lolo&#8221;. For web use is it best to use the main family and select the Light weight using its CSS weight value (300).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many questions can be answered by consulting the following FAQ pages.
