Notes

•The boldface and italic style are available only for those fonts which have a bold or italic version. Otherwise, the formatting will not change.

•When you type more text in a block that is formatted in either style, the new text is automatically formatted in the same style, even if you add text before first character and after the last character.

•If you selected Use video fonts in the general text editing preferences, the font change is visible also in the source pane.
