When I display an instance of WinForms.FontDialog (C#, .NET 2.0), I am missing some fonts that I expect to be there (e.g. Courier, Fixedsys, MS Sans Serif). Also, a customer is complaining that Adobe fonts he has installed are also not showing up in the list.
How can I get these fonts to display in this dialog?
FontDialog was designed to only show TrueType fonts to stay compatible with GDI+. Getting it to show the device fonts takes a bit of Reflection hacking:
using System.Reflection;
...
FontDialog fontDialog1 = new FontDialog();
MethodInfo mi = typeof(FontDialog).GetMethod("SetOption",
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
mi.Invoke(fontDialog1, new object[] { 0x40000, false });
fontDialog1.ShowDialog();
I don't know whether this also enables Adobe's OpenType fonts, I don't have any. Let us know.
