Attribute Descriptions for TEXTSYMBOL:

Attribute	Usage	Back to Top
antialiasing	1 Used to make edges of labels and symbols smoother. When set to "true", antialiasing is active. Note that the time to generate a map may significantly increase when antialiasing is turned on.
blockout	2 Provides a background behind text. Select color using RGB values.
font	3 Font name. The name is case sensitive. If font name uses "&", use "&" instead. For example, ESRI Transportation & Civic should be written as ESRI Transportation & Civic. For Feature Services, the font must reside on the client machine or else the system default font is used.
fontcolor	4 Font color using RGB values.
fontsize	5 Font size.
fontstyle	6 Font style.
glowing	7 Glow color around text using RGB values.
interval	8 Distance in pixels from point 0.
outline	9 Outline color using RGB values.
printmode	10 Determines how labels are printed. If "none" is used, no change is made to the label: Welcome to ArcIMS. If "alllower" is used, all letters are lowercase: welcome to arcims. If "allupper" is used, all letters are uppercase: WELCOME TO ARCIMS. If "titlecaps" is used, the first letter of each word in a label is uppercase and everything else is lowercase: Welcome To Arcims.
shadow	11 Shadow color using RGB values.
transparency	12 Value to set percentage of transparency. 1.0 is 0 percent transparent. 0.0 is 100 percent transparent.
