I try to use Call pdf_object.SetFontFlags(0, 0, 0, 0, italicFlag, 0, 0, boldFlag) and italicFlag = 1.
It keeps font regular.
How to get a italic?

Hi mwed!

You have to select the font first.
At least save the document.
Perhaps you should post a longer code snippet?
The call is correct and if it doesn't work i'm asking
you what's the resulting value of the function
(0 means that no font was selected)?

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Result = pdf_object.SetFontFlags(0, 0, 0, 0, italicFlag, 0, 0, boldFlag), italicFlag = 1 and boldFlag = 1
The Result is 1, and bold is set, just the italic is not available.

"does it work differently in different version?"

Hi!

I hope not ;-)
What about the used Font?
It should be installed on the computer you're developing.
Does the font offer the italic attribute?

Cheers, Ingo
