When The Text Interpreter Property Is Set To Tex

When the text Interpreter property is set to Tex (the default), you can use a subset of Tex commands embedded in the string to produce special characters. The following table lists these characters and the character sequences used to define them. You can also specify stream modifiers that control font type and color.

You can also specify stream modifiers that control font type and color. The first four modifiers are mutually exclusive. However, you can use \fontname in combination with one of the other modifiers:
\bf Bold font \it Italic font \sl Oblique font (rarely available) \rm Normal font \fontname{fontname} Specify the name of the font family to use. \fontsize{fontsize} Specify the font size in FontUnits. \color(colorSpec) Specify color for succeeding characters

Stream modifiers remain in effect until the end of the string or only within the context defined by braces { }.
