XAML Values
- fontStylesValue
A FontStyles value, such as "Normal", "Italic", or "Oblique".
Remarks
Three terms categorize the slant of a font: normal, italic, and oblique.
Font style | Description |
|---|
Normal | The characters in a normal, or roman, font are upright. |
Italic | The characters in an italic font are truly slanted and appear as they were designed. |
Oblique | The characters in an oblique font are artificially slanted. The slant is achieved by performing a shear transformation on the characters from a normal font. When a true italic font is not available on a computer or printer, an oblique style can generated from the normal font and used to simulate an italic font. |
You can use the enumerated values of the FontStyles class to set the FontStyle structure.
Examples
The following example sets "Italic" as the FontStyle.
<TextBlock FontStyle="Italic">Italic font style</TextBlock>
