Bold truetype font

   I can see how to make aerial, courier and times bold. You just add different fonts. How do you make text bold for other truetype fonts added via AddTrueTypeFont function?

Thanks

	Try to used SetFontFlags(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1) after loading the font

	Hi Delbeke, I have tried this, but I get no difference with the font whatsover when I call SetFontFlags. Below is the code: index:=QP.AddTrueTypeFont('Tw Cen MT', 1); if index=0 then begin Showmessage('couldnt add font'); exit; end; Qp.SelectFont(index); index:=QP.SetFontFlags(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1); if index<>1 then begin Showmessage('couldnt set Flags'); exit; end; QP.DrawText(10, 10, 'hello'); I get no messages back. Any ideas? BTW should setFontFlags work in the same way for the standard fonts or do I need to continue to add their various forms for bold and italic? Thanks Mark

	Have discovered thanks to Ingo that SetFontFlags is not the way to do this. For truetype fonts you simply add eg [Bold] or [BoldItalic] at the end of the font name when calling AddTrueTypeFont. Works like a treat and was covered perfectly well in the help for AddTrueTypeFont if only I had read it. Regards Mark
