Discussion Some fonts can't be set bold or italic?

How come? On some fonts on the dropdown there's only a "Regular" option, while some others had "Bold" and "Italic".

On GMS1 (correct me) all fonts had all options to bold or italic..

Ok i just found the solution:

just create the font in the old gms 1.4, import the 1.4 project into 2, and then import the font to your own gms2 project.

If font doesn't include Bold or Italic versions, then it can be only make as "fake", on render time. GMS2 seems to only use native font variants. Also, some fonts have bold/italic as separate font name.
