When I set Sinhalese text in the Iskoola Pota font, I can apply bold and italic. Which font are you using?

There are some text editors that will fake italics - applying a skew transform to regular glyphs. TLF/FTE does not do this - we will only display italic if there is an italic face for the font with real italic glyphs.

Thanks,

Allen for your invaluable response I am using "amele" font but the problem is that in my application i read the text from xml and there is no italic property it look like <span fontFamily="amele">sinhelese text </span>. I need to apply the italic font so is there any italic feature in amele font .

Thanks again hope we will keep in touch

I'm not familiar with that font, and a google search didn't turn anything up. Do you know where that font originated?

If you change the example you gave above to this:

<span fontFamily="amele" fontStyle="italic">sinhelese text </span>

Does the text show up as italic, or remain regular? If it remains regular I suspect the font does not have italic Sinhalese glyphs, but without access to the font itself I can't tell for sure.
