Narrative:

The airline I fly for is transitioning to an electronic flight bag. At the completion of 2 on-line training presentations; all pilots are encouraged to use the paper commercial charts as step #1 in the transition. Commercial chart's format will be the display on the electronic flight bag. On approach to osaka; japan; and using the commercial charts I missed a mandatory 2600 ft crossing altitude on the runway 24 ILS approach. Another commercial chart supplier has 'mandatory' printed on the vertical view of the chart; while this chart only shows the restr on the plan view and with only the altitude in bold and no other highlighting. Lesson learned: from now on I will look for the bold restrs and xref with the FMS.
