When I display an instance of WinForms.FontDialog (C#, .NET 2.0), I am missing some fonts that I expect to be there (e.g. Courier, Fixedsys, MS Sans Serif). Also, a customer is complaining that Adobe fonts he has installed are also not showing up in the list. How can I get these fonts to display in this dialog? ...
My main browsers (FF and Chrome) are both configured for a 12 point font. In both browsers the font picker shows a font preview, and in both they are the same size and a comfortable size for reading web sites. My IE doesn't allow me to set font size, but seems to default to something a little bit larger than Chrome. On my personal web...

Greetings, I'm in the middle of writing a Flash application which has multilingual support. My initial choice of font for this was Tahoma, for its Unicode support. The client prefers a non-standard font such as Lucida Handwriting. Lucida Handwriting doesn't have the same, say, Cyrillic support as Tahoma, which poses a problem that th...
I'm trying to add a custom font as a resource in my application. I have a "CustomFont" directory in the application and all the fonts inside of it are set to "Resource" <Window.Resources> <Style x:Key="Gotham-XLight"> <Setter Property="TextElement.FontFamily" Value="/CustomFonts;Component/#Gotham-XLight" /> </Style> </Wi...
I would like to have an app include a custom font for rendering text, load it, and then use it with standard UIKit elements like UILabel. Is this possible? I found these links: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8304744 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=569311 but these would require me to render each glyp...
I'm using the FontMetrics.getHeight() to get the height of the string, but it gives me a wrong value, cutting off the descenders of string characters. Is there a better function I can use? ...
I need a font that shows letters and function keys on a keyboard, so that I can show Ctrl+Alt+S as 3 separate keys on a keyboard, not as the text. I've looked at two, and one of them had lots of missing keys (among other things, the Win key), the other one cost over $100. Any good ideas? Oh, and this needs to be a truetype font, for W...
I am having an issue with a custom font that my company has created. When I set the Font property of a control in Visual Studio 2008 to our font, I receive the following error: Only TrueType fonts are supported. This is not a TrueType font. The font selection dialog shows our font, and double-clicking the font in the Windows fo...
Hey Guys, There's been this ongoing display issue my team has been having with the font size rendering larger than it should within the product. We've been having a heck of time pinpointing what it is. Here's a screenshot of a before and after shot: http://quickbase.intuit.com/images/font-issue.gif Notice that in the before, it looks ...
I'm using a third-party library which accesses fonts through the GraphicsEnvironment: getAllFonts() call. This includes fonts in font registries belonging to both the JRE and the operating system. But on client machines that connect to our server I will likely not be able to install fonts into either of these locations. So how can I ma...
Helvetica is available in one form or another on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Under Windows, I can see it from Microsoft Word. On the two UNIX platforms, I can find it with xlsfonts | grep -i helvetica; the name seems to be adobe-helvetica. But the JDK can't find it! It's not listed from GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts(), nor does i...
I have a website that will eventually display multiple languages. I notice the common fonts used in web CSS (ex: Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, Tahoma) and even the newer Vista/Office 2007/VS2008 fonts (Calibri,Cambria, Candara, Corbel, etc) are significantly larger (~350K) than your average (US only?) TTF font (~50k) so these fonts c...
The font used in xterms is extremely compact yet readable. What font is that? The closest I've found that I can use in other other applications is DejaVu Sans Mono or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Those are as compact as xterms vertically but take up more space horizontally. I'd really like to switch from xterms to Terminal.app and this ...

Within the Netbeans 6.5's Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Syntax dialog, you have the ability to change the look and feel of the Netbeans text editor.
