Non Standard fontstyles

[DamienS]

Hi,

I'm using a custom font called "avant garde" to generate GIF files for
a website. The PSD file that the designer gave me used a style called
"book" (this was in the list in photoshop with the "italics", "bold",
"extralight " and others that I'd not seen before).

The only way that I can see to set font style is using the FontStyle
enum, however it only has the 'standards', but not "book".

string font = "avant garde";
Font fntText = new Font(font, float.Parse("32 "),FontStyle.Bo ld);

Any idea how I can implement this?


Thanks very much in advance,


DamienS

No need to answer - I found it.

string font = "avant garde book"; // just change this string.
Font fntText = new Font(font, float.Parse("32 "),FontStyle.Bo ld);

By the way, if that font size is fixed (and not an example where in
reality you read some textbox), you can use

Font fntText = new Font(font, 32f, FontStyle.Bold) ;

(see the suffix 'f' that specifies that it's a float (instead of int).
