Question

What is the best way to read all windows fonts into ComboBox? Basically, I'm tried do this:

equal to the Microsoft Word

I can do:

 string[] fonts = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\windows\fonts");

and show each file into ComboBox, but this is correct? Have not an component that do this work?

Thanks in advance.

Look at EnumFontFamiliesEx and EnumFonts.

Much better is InstalledFontCollection. I didn't realize it existed.
