How to get the printer device font list in WPF

Question

Is there a way to get the printer device fonts list and not the ones installed on Windows using WPF?

Answer 1

Using PInovke you can access printer device context and enumerate its specific font, as explained in this.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

The hdc passed to GetAllFonts(IntPtr hdc) is obtained throught the folowing code:

[DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr CreateDC(string strDriver, string strDevice, string strOutput, IntPtr pData);

...
IntPtr hdc = CreateDC("", yourPrinterName, "", System.IntPtr.Zero);
