Font Display App

Hey guys, this is my first release in a while, so let me tell you a bit about this program...

I found myself needing to find a font that worked well with my new theme I was developing, so I created an app that showed me all the system fonts, and what a defined string looked like in that font with different styles.

If highlighted red, it means that the font style is not available for that particular font.

UPDATE: Add the following line in 'Sub MakeFontList' under the first line that says 'ListView1.Items.Clear()', so that the listview resizes with the font size changes.

Code
ListView1.Font = New Font(ListView1.Font.FontFamily, TrackBar1.Value - 1, FontStyle.Regular)

Here is the download link to the source :)

Download from Mediafire

For more fonts try DaFont. This is where I get all my fonts, but for the end user to see the font, they must also have the font installed on their PC. I will work on integrating fonts into apps on design time.

Thanks guys,

Enjoy!

Something unique. I like it.

Nice OP. Do you think you could add a option to include other folders? (custom fonts)

Something different, and USEFUL (for once), in the .NET section! Great work & share OP! Thanks for this ;)

Hey bro,

If the font is installed on the system, it should pick it up. I just installed the barcode font, and the program picked it up. What are you looking to do? Open a font and preview it like windows does?
