Having Trouble Loading a Font

I am writing a math lesson about circles, and I am using Screen 32. The standard QB64 IDE font (lucon.ttf) is nice looking, but a little small.

I want to make it slightly larger.



Below is the program I wrote. It first prints some text in the standard font. Then I load a font and print more text. I want the loaded font to appear

just like the system font (same shape, degree of boldness) but slightly larger. I am using a PC running Windows 10.




fontpath$ = "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\lucon.ttf"

style$ = "MONOSPACE, BOLD"

fontsize% = 16



Screen _NewImage(640, 416, 32)

_Font 16

Cls

Locate 3, 1

Print "Using System Font: lucon.ttf, monospace, bold, size = 16"



Sleep



font& = _LoadFont(fontpath$, fontsize%, style$)

If font& > 0 Then _Font font&



Locate 8, 1

Print "Using Loaded Font: lucon.ttf, monospace, bold, size = ?"

For i = 10 To 15

   Locate i, i - 9

   Print "hello"

Next i



Below is the result of running the program. The loaded font's characters

have a different shape than the system font, and the characters don't appear to be bold.




I would be very grateful for guidance on how to load the monospaced lucon.ttf font at a font size slightly larger than the default size.
Thank you very much.
