Designing a Custom Font Dialog/Selector for C# that filters out non true type fonts

Question

Since the inbuilt Font Dialog returns a \'Not a True Type Font\' Exception on selecting a Non True Type Font, I\'m trying to create a Custom Font Dialog using Font-families

Answer 1

OK, Umar, You should try:

1) Using the 'FontFamily.IsStyleAvailable' to avoid/minimize the need for catching exceptions -- and thus miss out on some available Fonts. 2) Play a Little with Graphics.MeasureString to set a size for each individual font that looks best AND will get you columns of equal height...

Happy trying :)
