Is it possable to create a save document and control its font type?

So my textbox is in say Arial font but when i save and recall it, it comes up as say webdings.

I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.

View 3 RepliesI think I'm starting to wear out my welcome by posting so much one after another..but, I'm having so much fun with this..Like a kid in a candy store. one more thing then I'll give you fellows a break. I was trying to get the colors and fonts to go into the registry and have the program pull those settings back into the program when its opened up but i can't seem to get it right for some reason. I only included the one line in the Form1_Load and left what i had in the in the other. Obviously this code is incomplete, and not functional As Is. So how do I save the Font Size, and then Save the listview backColor and Forecolor in the reg, and retrieve those settings when the programs starts?

what im trying to do now is allow the user to change the backcolor on each form if they would like a different color.The application im working on has 6 forms in it.

I'm new to VB and trying to figure out how I can replace a bit of descriptive text in a binary file. I presume its binary as I cant open it with anything but a hex editor. I've changed the text (file description) in the hex editor and saved it fine but I'm unsure how I go about saving just the section of information I need. I can work out the saving bit later.In the attached file you'll see the highlighted bit I want to edit. I need to replace the whole line or the file corrupt but I can fill it up with null characters and the numbers are just

View 10 RepliesI was just adding some neat features to my program, and now I realize that they've caused problems with my formatting features. In my program, you can bold, underline, italicize, and strikethrough the text you select. You can also change the color and font of the text. After adding in the ability to change the font of the selected text, I noticed that there was a problem when you tried highlighting the entire word, with some characters in the word having different fonts, and then formatting (bolding, underlining, etc.) the text. The error I get is[code]...
Notice how the "Ma" is in the Comic Sans MS font and that the "th" is in the Arial font. If I were to highlight this word on my program and try bolding it, the error would pop up.
I am trying to manually adjust character spacing between letters when drawing text with GDI. I am doing this by drawing each letter at a time. The problem is that you lose all the font kerning when you do this. How to get kerning data for fonts? Presumably you would send it the letter pair you want to get the offset for. Then when I draw each letter at a time I can subtract the offset for each letter pair.
