FontStyles Static Property Names

Font style

Description

Italic

The characters in an italic font are truly slanted and appear as they were designed.

Normal

The characters in a normal, or roman, font are upright.

WPF supports a FontStyles value of Oblique. Silverlight 5 does not support an Oblique value.

For more information on XAML usage, see FontStyle. FontStyle is the value type for Silverlight properties or attributes that specify a font style value, but you must use static properties of FontStyles to provide a FontStyle value. In XAML, you specify the name of a FontStyles property as the attribute value. This functionality is enabled by native XAML parsing behavior that processes the string value.
