A form with a label and a button \'Options\'. By clicking the button a new form opens with 2 radio buttons \'Font1\' and \'Font2\', and two buttons \'Apply\' and \'Cancel\'.

Answer 1

I noticed there was not an actual full code answer, so as i come across this, i have created a function, that does change the font, which can be easily modified. I have tested this in

- XP SP3 and Win 10 Pro 64

private void SetFont(Form f, string name, int size, FontStyle style)
{
    Font replacementFont = new Font(name, size, style);
    f.Font = replacementFont;
}

Hint: replace Form to either Label, RichTextBox, TextBox, or any other relative control that uses fonts to change the font on them. By using the above function thus making it completely dynamic.

    /// To call the function do this.
    /// e.g in the form load event etc.

public Form1()
{
      InitializeComponent();
      SetFont(this, "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);  
      // This sets the whole form and 
      // everything below it.
      // Shaun Cassidy.
}

You can also, if you want a full libary so you dont have to code all the back end bits, you can download my dll from Github.

Github DLL

/// and then import the namespace
using Droitech.TextFont;

/// Then call it using:
TextFontClass fClass = new TextFontClass();
fClass.SetFont(this, "Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);

Simple.
