The Style type is unsigned char. In Quickdraw documentation, a “text face” is what we commonly call a “ style”; i.e., a stylistic variation of a base
font (note, the word “ style” is now used as a TextEdit term to mean a combination of font, size, face, and color). Use TextFace to select the desired variation of the current font to be used in subsequent text drawing.
Or set the txFace field of the current grafPort to one (or any additive
combination) of the above constants.
In most cases, the variation is derived “on-the-fly” by manipulating the
bits of an existing font. Later versions of the Font Manager support specially- defined variations. For instance, it's not hard to imagine an
italics font style which looks better than the one created by the Font
Manager.
