| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(FontStyle) | Compares a FontStyle with the current FontStyle instance for equality. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Compares an Object with the current FontStyle instance for equality. (Overrides ValueType::Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Retrieves the hash code for this object. (Overrides ValueType::GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Creates a String that represents the current FontStyle object and is based on the CurrentCulture property information. (Overrides ValueType::ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equality | Compares two instances of FontStyle for equality. |

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.
