Bold font?

[jimg]

I'd like to add some "bold" characters to my GUI.

$font = "Tahoma Bold"

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString($hGraphic,$val, $x, $y,$font,10)

draws nothing visible. Just "Tahoma" works fine (and the fonts are installed).

I also tried the weight parameter in GUICtrlSetFont, but nothing from 0 to 40000 has any effect on the result.

While 1

    Switch $nMsg
        Case -3; Same as $GUI_ON_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $button
            If $iState = 1 Then; Text is already bold, we need to return it to normal.
                GUICtrlSetFont ($LabelControl, 8.5, 400, 0, "Tahoma")
                GUICtrlSetData ($LabelControl, "This is some text... Click the button bellow to set it to bold.")
                $iState = 0
            ElseIf $iState = 0 Then;Text is not bold, we need to do that.
                GUICtrlSetFont ($LabelControl, 8.5, 800, 0, "Tahoma")
                GUICtrlSetData ($LabelControl, "This is some text... Click the button bellow to set it to normal.")
                $iState = 1
            Else; Something went wrong
                MsgBox (32, "ERROR", "SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG!")

I guess I didn't do the original experiment correctly. Thanks!
