Change font of a label with custom font [duplicate]

Question

Is possible change the font of label in C# with a custom font. EX.: I need change the font to Bookman Old Style and in Visual Studio doesn't have this font.

Is possible add? How?

Answer 1

Use the PrivateFontCollection to load the font (See the AddFontFile and AddMemoryFont). You then use the font normally for label control.

PrivateFontCollection pfc = new PrivateFontCollection();
pfc.AddFontFile("C:\\Path To\\YourFont.ttf");
label1.Font = new Font(pfc.Families[0], 16, FontStyle.Regular);
