Get Font Properties From A Font File Name?

Feb 25, 2010

I'm trying to use Linq to loop through all fonts in the %windir%Fonts folder and find the one that has a property title of "Arial" (or any Font Family name supplied), but I can't seem to access the font properties (things like "Title", "Font style", "Designed for", etc.).

The following is only giving me the basic file info:
Dim fontDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") & "Fonts"
Dim fontFiles = From file In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(fontDir)

UserControl Expose FONT Properties

Jun 23, 2009

Creating a usecontrol:

The control will have numberous properties available at design and run time.

I am having trouble creating and exposing FONT properties for the child objects.

Example: The control will have a label with a designtime and useradjustable Display font. I wish to

1) be able to set the Font attributes via the properties dialog at design time.

2) set those properties via GUI at runtime.

The problem...

Code:

Private propArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Public Property ArtistHeaderFont() As Font
Get

[Code].....

So clearly I can not pass the FONT properties back and forth via the SET/GET method.

Setting Font Properties For Controls One At A Time?

Sep 25, 2011

In VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.

text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.

I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time

Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Find Selected Words And Change Their Font Properties Without Modifying The Rest Of The Text

i want to create a html editor. to get started, i want the app to be able to find certain words, and change the font/color/size/etc. as for <a href=""><b> and so on, without changing the rest of the text after the selected text was modified. i'm sure that it has something to do with RichTextBox1_TextChanged for text that is being typed and just a button click for modifying selected text.

Font Dialog - Application Allowing Users To Change Font Details Within Application

May 10, 2010

I use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.

Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?

Add Font From Fontdialog To Label Then From Label To Textbox As Font?

Jul 17, 2009

i am trying to get the font from a label's text to be read into the text.. i can add the font to the label with this code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myfontdialog As New FontDialog
With myfontdialog

[code]....

but reading it from the label and setting the font to the textbox, is the problem i am facing. i know the code does not read the font as it is displayed in the label's text, so it might be possible to just get the font name in one label, and font size in another, just by locating those two. this i have an idea how to do, just do not know how... if you have a solution on how to locate these two, and add them separately.. getting the font to the label this way, does not show the option of the selection for the font style.. i have tried using my.settings to do so, problem there as well.. basically, i want to be able to save the font selected, and next time the app loads, it loads with those those settings.

Access Font File's Information?

In my program, I need to be able to access font file information like what the font's title is called, the styles it contains, etc. I am already able to access the font's file name and path and use that, but I need the other information too.

I've used a recursive file search of the fonts folder (which is how i got the paths and filenames), as well as using Dim oneFontFamily As FontFamily, neither of which seem to have what I need.

Can't Print With Font Loaded From Ttf File

Jun 21, 2010

I've wrote a program awhile ago that prints barcode labels. The old version needed the font to be installed in the fonts folder, but that made it a pain for people using the program for the first time, as the program would print the barcode label with a default font. If I load the font file directly and try and print, it just shows up with the default font, obviously not a barcode. The following doesn't seem to work:

Save The Font To A Text File?

May 18, 2010

I use the font dialog to ask the user to select a font.

I need to save the font to a text file, so I don't need to ask the font each time the program runs.

The problem is that I see more font styles available than the font styles I get (they are limited to the fontStyle enum, which contains just 4 styles).

for example, this fontdialog shows 8 font styles (including semicomprimida):

[URL]

But the .Font.Style property of the fontDialog instance only returns values in the System.Drawing.FontStyle enum, and I cannot save the user selected font style, nor instanciating a new Font, with that style.
