How to: Enumerate Installed Fonts
The xref:System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection class inherits from the xref:System.Drawing.Text.FontCollection abstract base class. You can use an xref:System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection object to enumerate the fonts installed on the computer. The xref:System.Drawing.Text.FontCollection.Families%2A property of an xref:System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection object is an array of xref:System.Drawing.FontFamily objects.
Example
The following example lists the names of all the font families installed on the computer. The code retrieves the xref:System.Drawing.FontFamily.Name%2A property of each xref:System.Drawing.FontFamily object in the array returned by the xref:System.Drawing.Text.FontCollection.Families%2A property. As the family names are retrieved, they are concatenated to form a comma-separated list. Then the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A method of the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics class draws the comma-separated list in a rectangle.
If you run the example code, the output will be similar to that shown in the following illustration:
[!code-csharpSystem.Drawing.FontsAndText#11] [!code-vbSystem.Drawing.FontsAndText#11]
Compiling the Code
The preceding example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler. In addition, you should import the xref:System.Drawing.Text namespace.
