In general, change the FontName property before you set size and style attributes with the FontSize, FontBold, FontItalic, FontStrikethru, and FontUnderline properties. However, when you set TrueType fonts to smaller than 8 points, you should set the point size with the FontSize property, next set the FontName property, and then set the size again with the FontSize property. Windows uses a different font for TrueType fonts that are smaller than 8 points.

Note

Fonts that are available vary according to your system configuration, display devices, and printing devices. Font-related properties can be set only to values for which actual fonts exist.

Note

The FontBold property does not apply to the Page object.
