Hi Sylvain,
It's very strange that the textstyle attributes don't appear in the
R+W manual unless you actually search for them (at least in my copy
they don't) so I've never even seen these before!

I'll check into it, but I guess it's possible that...

a) textstyle attributes only work for a particular version of igds -
eg v7, which is why you are having problems when using v8

b) textstyle attributes can only be written not read - there are a few
attributes that have this behaviour

I can't confirm either of these at the moment, I just throw them out
as possibilities, but I will check with the developers and get back to
you.

Regards

Mark

MDL header files of Microstation V8 (mdl.h), it comes with the ULong 
bold field of the TextExFlags part of the TextParamWide structure. But
as i said, i can't get any value for the igds_textstyle_extflags 
attribute. So i can't check it.
