.NET System.Drawing.Font - Get Available Sizes and Styles

Question

I have one combo that allows user to select a font name.

The 2nd is supposed to show available sizes of the font. The 3rd has to show available styles.

Question: how can I retrieve the sizes and styles selected System.Drawing.Font supports?

Answer 1

You could use the InstalledFontCollection class to retrieve the available fonts and then enumerate them as shown in this MSDN article.

InstalledFontCollection installedFontCollection = new InstalledFontCollection();

// Get the array of FontFamily objects.
fontFamilies = installedFontCollection.Families;

// The loop below creates a large string that is a comma-separated
// list of all font family names.

int count = fontFamilies.Length;
for (int j = 0; j < count; ++j)
{
    familyName = fontFamilies[j].Name;
    familyList = familyList + familyName;
    familyList = familyList + ",  ";
}
