Thanks it does - just wandering what the relationship between the results
returned by the fontstyle function (ie "bold-italic") are and the textstyle
notation - is this a general thing?
The fontstyle reports the text styling you've applied to a range of
characters in a field. The textstyle is the available style variations
that exist in a font family.
Textstyles may be artificially applied. For example, if the font family
does not include an italic version of the font, setting the textstyle of
a character will artificially italicize it by redrawing it at a slant.
That is often not as clean as using the italic version of the font itself.
