Basic Examples  (1)

Underlined text:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"Underline" -> True}]

Strike-through text:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"StrikeThrough" -> True}]

Combine both:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abcd xyz", FontVariations -> {"Underline" -> True, "StrikeThrough" -> True}]

Scope  (5)

Font variations can be specified in style-related options:

Wolfram Language code: Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, PlotLabel -> Sin[x], LabelStyle -> (FontVariations -> {"Underline" -> True})]
Wolfram Language code: ContourPlot[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, FrameStyle -> (FontVariations -> {"StrikeThrough" -> True})]

Small caps font:

Wolfram Language code: Style["A line of text", 24, FontVariations -> {"CapsType" -> "SmallCaps"}]

Outline font:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abc 123", 24, FontVariations -> {"Outline" -> True}]

Shadow font:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abc 123", 24, FontVariations -> {"Shadow" -> True}]

Font with a red underlight:

Wolfram Language code: Style["abc 123", 24, FontVariations -> {"Underlight" -> Red}]
