List of Fonts

[aikar]

Hello everyone

I would need a (string)-list of the fonts which are selectable with Selection.FontName.

The same problem has been discussed in this thread:

As this thread is more than two years old, I hope there is a solution for it today.

Thanks in advance

Hey there,
You can get al supported fonts with AdaptFontEventArgs.SupportedFonts.
You will need to trigger that event with the FontSettings Class.

Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, I don't really understand how to use this approach.

The AdaptFontEvent is raised, when I want to use a font that is not supported? Do I really have to use a "wrong" font to get a list of the usable ones?

I would also need this list for a combo box when I create a new document, so I even haven't used a font to adapt.

Is there an example for how to get SupportedFonts?

thx

If you just want to get all fonts from the TextControl, please use GetSupportedFonts().
I thought you wanted to to limit the available fonts.

That was, what I was searching for.

I wonder that I did not see it. Thanks a lot.
