    Combining font styles?

    How do I combine fontstyle.bold with fontstyle.Italic? I tried simply adding them together but no go.

    Code:
    Dim MyFont as New Font ("courier new",12,FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
    Evidently font styles are not constants.

    I've always found that counter intuitive... I want it Bold AND Italic... not Bold OR Italic... I get why it is the way it is... I'm just saying... it just seems counter intuitive.
