.MoveTextTo(72, 500)
.ShowText("Normal, ")
.SetFont(StandardFont.HelveticaBold, 14)
.ShowText("bold, ")
.SetFont(StandardFont.HelveticaOblique, 14)
.ShowText("italic")

You should see a bold 24 pt heading, font-family samples in Helvetica and Times Roman, red warning text, a three-line paragraph with generous spacing, and a mixed-style line reading "Normal, bold, italic" at the bottom.
