Something like the following: I can create normal, bold, monospace, and serif text, but I can't create italic text. It always looks normal (or in the case of bold- italic, it looks bold). In addition, I am unsure what settings to use to indicate italic serif or italic monospace (there is a setting for italic-bold, although it just appears bold). I am referring to examples of the following sort: //This will appear normal paint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear bold paint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear monospace paint.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear normal (identical to first example) paint.setTypeface(Typeface.SANS_SERIF); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear serif paint.setTypeface(Typeface.SERIF); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear normal paint.setTypeface(Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.NORMAL)); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear bold paint.setTypeface(Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.BOLD)); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear normal (identical to first example) <=== THE PROBLEM BEING DESCRIBED paint.setTypeface(Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.ITALIC)); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); //This will appear bold (identical to straight-up bold) <=== THE PROBLEM BEING DESCRIBED paint.setTypeface(Typeface.Typeface.defaultFromStyle (Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC)); canvas.drawText("foo", 10, 10, paint); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
