OpenPDF Bold fonts not working

Up until version 1.3.17 bold fonts were working fine. From version 1.3.18 all the way to 1.3 26 they are not. Here is an example of two fonts that became identical in version 1.3.18: new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 16f, Font.BOLD) new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 16f) Just in case it matters, the fonts above were used in a chunk in a paragraph. No special characters and nothing special otherwise.

Of all the things included in the release notes of 1.3.18, this is probably the one that relates to this.

After some more testing, I have identified that the problem with bold not working depends on whether or not the string in the chunk or paragraph contains a new line character \n. When there is a \n in the string, bold does not work. I hope this helps identify the issue in the code.
