Programmatically set the FontStyle to Bold Italic

Question

I was sure that if I perform the AND operator on:

FontStyle fontStyle;
fontStyle = FontStyle.Bold & FontStyle.Italic

The resulting FontStyle will be Bold Italic, but to my surprise the resulting FontStyle was: FontStyle.Regular. Please explain the way to programmatically set the FontStyle to Bold Italic. I use the FontFamily: New Times Roman. Thank you.

@John: I did provide the complete relevant statement: fontStyle = FontStyle.Bold & FontStyle.Italic; — user2102327, Dec 10 '18 at 06:51
Can you format it so that it presents as code. At the moment it just looks like a wall of text. — ProgrammingLlama, Dec 10 '18 at 06:53
Remember this is a bitwise `AND`, which only returns common values (`0 & 0 == 0; 0 & 1 == 0; 1 & 1 == 1`). You want the bitwise `OR` operator (`'|'`) if you want to combine the values (`0 | 0 == 0; 0 | 1 == 1; 1 | 1 == 1`). — Rufus L, Dec 10 '18 at 06:59

Use the OR operator to apply both.

fontstyle = FontStyle.Bold | FontStyle.Italic
