Question

i have an application where my user changes font and font color for different labels etc and they save it to a file but i need to be able to convert the font of the specified label to a string to be written to file, and then when they open that file my program will convert that string back into a font object. How can this be done? I haven’t found anywhere that shows how it can be done.

thank you

It is easy to go back and forth from a font to a string and back with the System.Drawing.FontConverter class. For example:

        var cvt = new FontConverter();
        string s = cvt.ConvertToString(this.Font);
        Font f = cvt.ConvertFromString(s) as Font;
