Using Existing Fonts

[Steve S]

Hi, I want to check the system for the arial font, then use it bold. I know
I could just do something like "new Font("Arial",10,FontStyle.Bold)", but I
want to check the system.

Thanks

FontFamily family("Arial");
bool available = FontFamily.IsAvailable(FontStyle.Bold);

You shouldn't have to check with Arial, unless you're supporting more than
one operating system. Every windows machine has Arial installed on it unless
it's been deleted somehow.
