Mixing font styles?
 

I'm assuming you can't change font styles in the middle of a FontString (even with escape sequences) without having to chain multiple FontStrings together?

ie. if I wanted to do something like:
"This is regular text and this is italic text and this is more regular text."

then I would have to create something like:
|RegularFontString1| |ItalicFontString1| |RegularFontString2|
and create all the matching SetPoints to tie them all together?

(which basically means using italic and bold inside the ChatFrame is right out?)

Thanks

only one font/style per font string if you want to mix and match you have to create multiple fontstrings and align them
