Hi, Im writing an application where the user can choose between several fonts, and set their style: (bold, italic, underline) …

I embedded just one font. When I use the TextFormat class, only the underline property shows a result, but bold and italic dont. What exactly am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to embed the same font again as bold, and then again as italic, and then again as bold+italic ?!?!?
