Great! I was speculating, so thanks for posting. I'll try to remember
that trick.

Yay, this worked! Thanks again for the suggestion. Don't think I would have

Should it? The same thing works fine in the IDE. But when run in the
simulator or on a device the text is not styled. I did just try using
Helvetica instead of Arial and that seems to work okay.
Unfortunately, I need Arial and not Helvetica.
I vaguely recall something similar happening to me. What I think is going on is
that iOS won't generate fake styles like bold and italic; it will only use
fonts that have separate style faces in the font family. I haven't tried it,
but it might work to set the font name rather than the style:
