Me and my players want to bold some text on our character sheets under the notes section, but we cannot seem to find out how. Is this even possible? I was was reading that I could possibly press CTRL+B but that does not work because it just triggers the hotbar at the bottom of FG. Could some one please help with this?

No it's not possible to be done individually. If you would like it to be bold for all character sheets, you can write an extension as the GM and then all sheets will have that formatting.

EDIT: oh, and welcome!

The fields in question have not been setup to accept formatting.
It can be adjusted via code but the base sheet does not support this.

If it can be changed with code how would I go about doing that, or where can I learn to do it?

Start by learning how to write and extension for FG. My "goto" is a simple extension that changes your background decal, see the tutorial on Custom Decal Tutorial here; https://www.fg-con.com/free-downloads/

Then you can find other tutorials on YouTube and here as well as many discussions here on the forums. Let us know your questions as you have them.

crack open the CoreRPG ruleset.
have a look at the code (xml mostly) of Notes and then at the record_char_notes.xml and you will probably work out what needs to change.
then you would need to learn how to pack it up in an extension so its not overwritten in the next update.
its probably not a difficult extension but you would likely have to do a little learning and experimenting.

Thank you as well. Looks like it's back to school for me for a bit.
