I will make the necessary changes.
Are the whitespace differences unavoidable ?

This is why you do not get "bold" with only marking the text "bold".
This structure is incorrect and requires changing the exact font name.
<font-family name="Helvetica">
<font>
<font-data name="Helvetica" afm="Helvetica.afm" embed="false"/>
</font>
</font-family>
<font-family name="Helvetica-Bold">
<font>
<font-data name="Helvetica-Bold" afm="Helvetica-Bold.afm" embed="false"/>
</font>
</font-family>
<font-family name="Helvetica-BoldOblique">
<font>
<font-data name="Helvetica-BoldOblique" afm="Helvetica-BoldOblique.afm" embed="false"/>
</font>
</font-family>
<font-family name="Helvetica-Oblique">
<font>
<font-data name="Helvetica-Oblique" afm="Helvetica-Oblique.afm" embed="false"/>
</font>
</font-family>
This is the correct way and should have been in any default installation of XEP v4:
<font-family name="Helvetica">
<font><font-data afm="Helvetica.afm"/></font>
<font style="oblique"><font-data afm="Helvetica-Oblique.afm"/></font>
<font weight="bold"><font-data afm="Helvetica-Bold.afm"/></font>
<font weight="bold" style="oblique"><font-data afm="Helvetica-BoldOblique.afm"/></font>
</font-family>

Thank You for your quick response.
Attached is the xep.xml which I am using.
We are migrating from 3.x to 4.x in which case I would have to change the stylesheet correct?

First question -- What "older" version?
Fonts would not ever behave that way unless you have not created the xep.xml configuration file correctly and even changed the default.
This fo yields the attached PDF so you have some issue in your configuration.
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master margin-top="1in" margin-left="1in"
margin-bottom="18pt" margin-right="18pt"
page-width="700pt" page-height="780pt" master-name="first">
<fo:region-body margin-top="0pt"/>
<fo:region-before extent="0pt"/>
<fo:region-after extent="0pt"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="first">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-family="Helvetica">
<fo:block>Helvetica</fo:block>
<fo:block font-style="italic">This is Helvetica Italic</fo:block>
<fo:block font-weight="bold">This is Helvetica Bold</fo:block>
<fo:block font-weight="bold" font-style="italic">This is Helvetica Bold Italic</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
As for the other questions ... it all depends on what version you are coming from. If you are saying that you are coming from version 4. Some number to later (like 4.24), nothing should change. But if you are coming from over 10 year old 3.x version then it is possible somethings changed in whitespace inheritance that causes changes.

Hi,
We are currently migrating from an older XEP Version to newer XEP 4.2x Version.
Using the new XEP Versions showed few differences in the pdf from how it used to be.
Few Of them are:
1) The text which was previously bold is not shown as bold with the new version. One thing I noticed here was that whenever I apply a font i.e. Helvetica and applying the font-weight as bold the text is not shown as bold but if use a font i.e. Helvetica-Bold directly the text was showing as expected.
2) Some of the page layouts where changed on few pdf's
3) Text inside a table column is misaligned.
What can be the cause, ideally we should not see any change correct ?
Regards,
Nithin
