# Font Properties

Most standard controls accept attributes that affect how text is displayed in a control. Generally, it's best to set font styling via CSS classes or via the "style" attribute available in most controls. However, the font properties provide a direct means of setting specific styles that affect the display of the control's text.

Font properties must start with font- and be followed by the name of the property you want to set. The following properties are available:

• font-bold:  Whether the font is bold. Value can be true or false. Default is false.
• font-italic: Whether is italic. Value can be true or false. Default is false.
• font-names:  Sequence of fonts that can be used to render the control. Ex: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
• font-overline: Whether the font contains an overline. Value can be true or false. Default is false.
• font-size: The size of the font. Ex: 12px or 12pt
• font-strikeout: Whether the font has a strike through it (strikethrough). Value can be true or false. Default is false.
• font-underline: Whether the font is underlined. Value can be true or false. Default is false.
