The italic and bold are probably just computed and not taken from the actual style. Styled fonts used to be auto-generated but a while ago, after version 7 I think or somewhere around there, LC stopped doing that. Now it looks for a font in the same family that is the requested style. If it doesn't exist, the text is rendered as plain. For example, if you have Arial Bold installed, you get bold. Otherwise you get Arial regular. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
