How to get all font styles from system in c#.net?

Anonymous User911424-Aug-2011
I am implementing a Font Dialog Box application.
I have created 3 list boxes for font family,font style & font size & a text box to display the formatted text.
I have done the coding to get all the font families & to apply them in the text box in the following code:

private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Font f = new Font(listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(),24);
textBox1.Font = f;
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
InstalledFontCollection ifc = new InstalledFontCollection();
IEnumerator ie;
ie = ifc.Families.GetEnumerator();
while (ie.MoveNext())
{
listBox1.Items.Add(ie.Current.ToString().Substring(18).TrimEnd(']'));
}

But I am not able to get the system font styles & font sizes to the listbox1 & listbox2
please help me.
Thanks.

Hi awadhendra,
You can write following line of code to get all system installed fonts.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            InstalledFontCollection fonts = new InstalledFontCollection();
            for (int i = 0; i < fonts.Families.Length; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(fonts.Families[i].Name);
            }
        }
    }
}
