   canvas.text((35,60),  u'*****Main Menu*****', font= u'legend')
   canvas.text((35,100), u'*****Main Menu*****', font= u'normal')
   canvas.text((35,160), u'*****Main Menu*****', font= u'title')
   canvas.text((30,210), u'*****Main Menu*****', font= u'dense')

these are all displaying the exact same!!!!

You might be missing some font files. What is your device (2nd, 3rd) and what language variant it is == do you have Chinese or Indian etc. version? In my "English" version I can see some minor difference between fonts. Not big, but some.

Btw you can also use flags, like bold and italics.

Actually, on mine, it only works with unicode font names.

Chinese phones lack certain fonts. Thus, there will be also problems if you send your application to China for Symbian certification.
