[Laszlo-user] text.fontstyle

[Matthew Cloy]

This is a bug we came across too.... our workaround is to not use 
fontstyle,  instead we actually set and unset bold in the text string by 
adding /removing <b></b> from the string in code.

It also allows other styles such as underline to be set as well.

There is a bug in JIRA about fontstyle, I would check them out... 
especially perhaps this one:

http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-1223
You could try "touching" the text to get it to update, we never tested 
that here.

Hope this helps
