is there any way to add styles or even bold or italics to text inside display.newText or similar?

Use a costume font. Search on this site, there is a tutorial about. [import]uid: 138389 topic_id: 36200 reply_id: 143792[/import]

A given “display.newText” object can be drawn with a single font. If you want something bolded or italicized then you have to create a new display.newText for that block of text changing the font to the appropriate one like “Helvetica” and “Helvetica-Bold” [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 36200 reply_id: 143817[/import]
