Question

is there any way I can obtain installed fonts as a list (or array, but I prefer a List).

So like a method that will out all installed fonts to a list.
I have so far created this

List<string> fonts = new List<string>();
fonts.AddRange() //I don't know what to put in those brackets to obtain fonts.

Can someone provide a better way?

You want the InstalledFontCollection class:

using System.Drawing.Text;
using (InstalledFontCollection fontsCollection = new InstalledFontCollection())
{
    FontFamily[] fontFamilies = fontsCollection.Families;
    List<string> fonts = new List<string>();   
    foreach (FontFamily font in fontFamilies)
    {
       fonts.Add(font.Source);
    }
}
