[Laszlo-user] text.fontstyle

[David Buckler]

The way I got around it was to have two text boxes.  One with the bold
font and then the other with the normal and then change their
visiblility when necessary.  This cant work in every case and isn't
pretty but it gets the job done.

Just a thought
David

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
Matt
