How can I find the font that the user has set in their Windows Display Properties using C# in .NET?
I want to display a form using the fonts that the user has selected. The fonts I want are those selected in the Windows Display Properties form for 3D-objects, menus and window title bars. But I cannot find a way to access them. There is a System.Windows.Forms.Control.DefaultFont property but that is returning the Windows default font (which is, I think, MS Sans Serif on XP).
Using the SystemFonts class, you can get the fonts from the theme that the user selected. Also customizations the user made itself are returned.
BTW: I (using XP) cannot select a font for 3D objects, the others are available.
