erence the bold, italic, or underlined versions of a font by appending the appropriate letter or letters to the name of the style.
Append .b for the bold version, .i for the italic version, .bi for the bold italic version, and .u for the underlined version.

setstyle(&blackfont)
show(' is now in blue italic')

sets.
