I have a dynamic text field using arial font embedded. Dummy italic and bold text fields have been placed off screen - the text field is showing up as it should when I use those tags. However, if I want to throw a \<font color\> tag in there, it doesn’t work if I have a \<b\> or \<i\> in the same text field. If I have the \<font color\> tag on its own, it works ok.

Basically, I’m after doing something like this within htmlText : _[COLOR=Red]red italic[/COLOR]_ and **[COLOR=RoyalBlue]blue bold[/COLOR]** text in the same line.

Any suggestions how to get this working properly?

Thanks.

Jason
