bold, false if it is not, and then sets it to bold.

Usage
fontItem.font
Description
Property; a string that specifies the name of the device font associated with the Font item. If you enter a string that does
not correspond to an installed device font, an error message is displayed. To determine if a font exists on the system,
use
fl.isFontInstalled() .
Note: When you set this value, the resulting property value might be different from the string you enter. See the following
example.
Example
Assuming that the first item in the Library is a Font item, the following code displays the name of the device font
currently associated with the Font item, then changes it to Times:
fl.outputPanel.clear();
var theItem = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items[0];
fl.trace(theItem.font);
theItem.font = "Times";
// depending on your system, the following may display something like "Times-Roman"
fl.trace(theItem.font);
