Hello Experts,

Do you know, please how to show a text on italic characters in obj.format_text ?

My code dos'nt work :

  obj.format_text( data:  "frais forfaitaires : ", overrides: " just=left color=cx95337 font_weight=normal font_size=12pt font_style=italic");

Thank you for your help !

I would expect to see something using Style_attr instead of override

obj.format_text(data: "your text here",
                style_attr: 'font_style=italic 
                             font_size=12pt         
                             font_weight=bold       
                             color=cxbbb2e0');

Thank you Ballardw,

I tried both ways :
obj.format_text( data: "Dont taux de rétrocession de commission", style_attr: "font_style=italic font_size=12pt font_weight=normal color=cx95337");
obj.format_text( data: "Dont taux de rétrocession de commission", style_attr: 'font_style=italic font_size=12pt font_weight=normal color=cx95337');

The characters are not in italic, do you know please, some another option ? Thank you !

What ODS style are you using for output? It may be that the font involved did not provide an Italic version.

If you could provide a small complete step to demonstrate it would help. Just enough code that shows the result that we can run.
