Description
When you specify a TrueType font symbol, the fontstyle argument controls attributes such as Bold. The following table lists the fontstyle values you can specify:
| fontstyle value | Symbol Style |
|---|---|
| 0 | Plain |
| 1 | Bold |
| 16 | Border (black outline) |
| 32 | Drop Shadow |
| 256 | Halo (white outline) |
To specify two or more style attributes, add the values from the left column. For example, to specify both the Bold and the Drop Shadow attributes, use a fontstyle value of 33. Styles 16 and 256 are mutually exclusive.
