Is it possible to make the Hint text in Italic Typeface?

Dim tf As Typeface
    tf = tf.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, Typeface.STYLE_ITALIC)
    Dim fnt As B4XFont=xui.CreateFont(tf,30)
    B4XTable1.SearchField.HintFont=fnt      'change hint text font
    B4XTable1.SearchField.Update

You do not specify what hint text for. I am guessing you are asking about B4XTable search hint text since you have another thread regarding B4XTable. If that is the case, then

B4X:

Dim tf As Typeface
    tf = tf.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, Typeface.STYLE_ITALIC)
    Dim fnt As B4XFont=xui.CreateFont(tf,30)
    B4XTable1.SearchField.HintFont=fnt      'change hint text font
    B4XTable1.SearchField.Update

Don't rush to ask questions. You need to give more details; otherwise people will be guessing as to the what the question is about.

Try this:
Create a CSBuilder with the typeface you like.
Set it with:

B4X:

Dim cs As CSBuilder
cs...
Dim jo As JavaObject = EditText1
jo.RunMethod("setHint", Array(cs))

            Dim cs As CSBuilder
            cs.Initialize.Color(Colors.Red).Append("Hello World!").Typeface(Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT,Typeface.STYLE_ITALIC)).PopAll
            Dim jo As JavaObject = edtUrenTbl
            jo.RunMethod("setHint", Array(cs))

The text is correct, the color Red is working, but not the Typeface. Is there something wrong in my code?

            Dim jo As JavaObject = edtUrenTbl
            jo.RunMethod("setHint", Array(cs))
