I am not able to write bold text. Please help!












6















I am a beginner in LaTeX and I have been using Textstudio as my main LaTeX editor for several weeks. My problem is that i am not able to write any bold characters.



textbf will not work in this case.



I am sure there must be something in my code that is not allowing to write bold text.



Here you have my code



documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=2cm, outer=0cm, inner=0cm, left=1.5cm, right=1.5cm]{geometry}
usepackage{mathptmx}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{color}


begin{document}

tikz[remember picture,overlay] node[opacity=0.9,inner sep=0pt] at (current page.center){includegraphics[width=paperwidth,height=paperheight]{lol.jpg}};
thispagestyle{empty}
newpage

begin{titlepage}

textnormal{}\\\\
hrule
{fontsize{50}{60}selectfont begin{center}
APARTHEID end{center}}
hrule
textnormal{}\\\\\

begin{center}
{LARGE An article on Racism}
end{center}


textnormal{}\\\\\\\\\\\\\

begin{center}
{Large Ramai Alejandria - 5I}
end{center}

thispagestyle{empty}

end{titlepage}

newpage

begin{titlepage}

textnormal{}\
begin{center}
{fontsize{35}{60}selectfont textbf{Table of Contents}}
end{center}


end{titlepage}


end{document}

    Out of topic, but why would you need the package amsmath to write about apartheid?

  • Don't use usepackage{mathptmx} together with xelatex.

Don't use usepackage{mathptmx} together with xelatex. The package is meant for pdflatex only. If you want a times like font use e.g.



usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes}
setmathfont{TeX Gyre Termes Math}
