Question

I have a List with all system font names. Here is a part of the List:

Arial
Calibri
Times New Roman

My problem is: I have 16 ASCII characters (2 bytes) of the fontname with the fontface (Bold, Italic, Regular)

Calibri Bold
Arial Bold Itali
Times New Roman 

How can I get the fontname (ex. Arial) from the list if I have a string (ex. Arial Bold Itali)

Hope someone can help me or give me advice.

Answer:
I did it vice-versa. Bet this can me done more efficient but it works for now.

foreach (string fn in FontHelper.FontNames)
        {
          if (Font.FontName.Contains(fn))
          {
            fontname = fn;
            break;
          }
        }

I think you can also use start with.

string str = "Arial Bold Itali";

if(str.StrartWith("Arial"))
{
   return str;
}
