When a font type which is bold by default exists in an annotation feature, all other texts with the different font types are bolded on the map automatically, and the tags <_BOL></_BOL> do not work properly in this situation.

Additional Information

ArcGIS Desktop (including ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects) is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. Mature support means the end of functionality-based patches and hotfixes; therefore, this issue will not be addressed. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate

Workaround

Create separate annotation features instead of putting them in one annotation feature.
