        g.DrawString("Generic SanSerif bold font", fnt, brsh, 100, 138)
        fnt = New Font(fam, 12, FontStyle.Italic)

The simplest possible DrawString using different FontStyles on each example, FontStyle.Bold and FontStyle.Italic.

All of the regular font styles are available that are available elsewhere, such as Underline and StrikeThrough.

Be sure to include "Imports System.Drawing.Text"

You may need a Try statement to catch the error when the Font is unavailable on the machine.


GenericFontFamilies should be available and can be assigned if another Font Family raises an exception
