IE hosted Winforms control. How to prevent font substitution?

[Pradeep]

NETters,

I have developed a Winforms control that works in two applications:
1. A Winforms application
2. A downloaded control hosted within Internet Explorer

The problem is that the fonts in IE hosted view are different then the
one in Winforms application although both of them are running on the
same machine. It appears somehow IE is doing some font substitution.

Two questions:
1. Why are fonts getting substituted?
2. More importantly, how can I prevent this to happen?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I had to use CSS styles to fix the formatting in IE.
