Hi

I have been asked to develop an internal application to help manage the fonts installed on our various dtp machines and having a bit of a problem.

I can get the font names by iterating through the fontfamily collection:

FontFamily[] families = FontFamily.Families;

foreach (FontFamily family in families)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(family.Name.ToString());
}

What I'm after though is more detail about each installed font, I need to get to other properties Typeface name, version, type in fact all properties available.

We''ll then being able to audit all the machines to make sure we have the same sets and versions of fonts installed on all machines.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Regards,

Lee
