I am strying to change the font of my abbreviations list \printnomenclature
(nomencl.sty) so I can have the abbreviations in bold (my main font lacks a bold version). I've tried several things, but I just can't get it to work. The font changes to default, and italics in the definitions are lost for some weird reason.
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List}
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textbf{#1}} %bold abbreviations
\printnomenclature
\input{ABC}
I've tried this with no luck:
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List}
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textbf{#1}} %bold abbreviations
{\fontfamily{Arial}\selectfont\printnomenclature}
\input{ABC}
Also this:
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List}
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{{\fontfamily{Arial Bold}\selectfont{#1}}} %bold abbreviations
\printnomenclature
\input{ABC}
