Bold and italic text styles

How can I get bold and italic styling for text using the default font? I need the rendered text to be (approximately) the same whether the sketch is run on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Hello @Gadger ,

Not sure what the default is.
You could include a font in your sketch!

Take a look here:

PFont myFont;

void setup()
  {
  //printArray(PFont.list());

   size(700, 130);

  myFont = loadFont("Arial-BoldItalicMT-48.vlw");
  textFont(myFont, 32);

  fill(0); // Set text color to black
  text("This is bold and italic text !", 50, 70);
  }

Thanks glv. I can’t find the specification of the default sans-serif font, so I’ll use some open fonts that look similar, along the lines you suggested.
