I have created a small script in ASP.NET using VB.NET for creating pictures
with text inside. Now I have a problem how to use my own font directory, and
not Windows system fonts directory.

How to read available fonts an put on of them into the objFont? Thanks!

This is the part of code that works fine now.

objFont = new Font("Verdana", 8)
objGraphics.DrawString(sTextToGenerate, objFont, Brushes.Black, 1, 1)


How to read available fonts and put one of them into the objFont? Thanks!
 
Well, if the font is stored on the server..I think it should pick it up.
Never tried it

Well, it should, but my ISP has forbidden access to WINDOWS/Fonts directory.
So, I need to have my own /Fonts. I don't know how to read *.ttf into the
..Net framework and "say" to it to use those. I was googling a little bit,
but with no success. If someone knows how to write a few lines of code in
VB.... :o)
 
// Load font
string fontName = Request.Form.Get("fontname") + ".ttf";
PrivateFontCollection privateFontCollection = new
PrivateFontCollection();
privateFontCollection.AddFontFile(Server.MapPath("./") + fontName);

FontFamily fontFamily = privateFontCollection.Families[0];
