I am using Windows XP, and trying to use MyriadPro Opentype font with Visual Studio 2008. I can use this font with Wordpad, but Visual Studio IDE does not show this Font in Font property for a control.

+1  A: 

By default, .Net does not supports OpenType fonts, because it uses GDI+ to render them, which supports only a very limited subset of OpenType fonts (basically, only the Microsoft ones).

I'm currently looking for a solution. WPF seems to support them, but I don't see any solution for "classic" .Net.
