Font Size, Face, Weight, and Style Basics
It is very easy to style text that will be rendered on the canvas. It requires you to set the size,
weight,style,andfontfaceinaCSS-complianttextstringthatisappliedtothe
context.font
property. The basic format looks like this:
[
font style
] [
font weight
] [
font size
] [
font face
]
An example might be:
context
.
font
=
"italic bold 24px serif"
;
or:
context
.
font
=
"normal lighter 50px cursive"
;
After the
context.font
property is set, it will apply to
all
text that is rendered after-
ward—until the
context.font
is set to another CSS-compliant string.
