TextSetStyle

Syntax

TextSetStyle(Text, Style)

Description

Sets the font style (normal, italic, or oblique) for the specified text object.

Parameters

#PG_Text_Style_Normal  : Standard upright style. (Default)
#PG_Text_Style_Oblique : Slanted style, often algorithmically generated if no specific oblique font face exists.
#PG_Text_Style_Italic  : Cursive/slanted style, typically uses a specific italic font face if available.

Return Value

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

The availability of true italic or oblique styles depends on the chosen font family (CreateText()). If the specific style is not available, the rendering engine might simulate it (e.g., algorithmically skewing the normal style for oblique) or fall back to the normal style.
