Python2 How To .........? [SOLVED]

I'd like to change the font to bold.

I'm sure this is very simple for python users, however I'm not, and guessed at a few changes that didn't work.

self.draw_text(ctx, self.myip,0,10, 'FreeSans',15,self.width,allignment = pango.ALIGN_CENTER)

Thanks in advance!

Last time I dealt with fonts, we had a different font for normal, bold and italic. How about trying a bold font?

EDIT: Okay, forget that, it's late and I need sleep...

Thanks Awebb,

I didn't try changing the font type. That did it.

I tried Arial Black, but that looked too bold. Changing to regular Arial looks pretty good.

self.draw_text(ctx, self.myip,0,10, 'Arial' ,16 ,self.width,allignment = pango.ALIGN_CENTER)
