The Typeface type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Typeface(String) | Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family typeface name. |
| Typeface(FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight, FontStretch) | Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family name, Style, Weight, and Stretch values. |
| Typeface(FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight, FontStretch, FontFamily) | Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family name, Style, Weight, and Stretch values. In addition, a fallback font family is specified. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CapsHeight | Gets the distance from the baseline to the top of an English capital letter for the typeface. |
| FaceNames | Gets a collection of culture-specific names for the Typeface. |
| FontFamily | Gets the name of the font family from which the typeface was constructed. |
| IsBoldSimulated | Determines whether to simulate a bold weight for the glyphs represented by the Typeface. |
| IsObliqueSimulated | Determines whether to simulate an italic style for the glyphs represented by the Typeface. |
| Stretch | Gets the stretch value for the Typeface. The stretch value determines whether a typeface is expanded or condensed when it is displayed. |
| StrikethroughPosition | Gets a value that indicates the distance from the baseline to the strikethrough for the typeface. |
| StrikethroughThickness | Gets a value that indicates the thickness of the strikethrough relative to the font em size. |
| Style | Gets the style of the Typeface. |
| UnderlinePosition | Gets a value that indicates the distance of the underline from the baseline for the typeface. |
| UnderlineThickness | Gets a value that indicates the thickness of the underline relative to the font em size for the typeface. |
| Weight | Gets the relative weight of the typeface. |
| XHeight | Gets the distance from the baseline to the top of an English lowercase letter for a typeface. The distance excludes ascenders. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Gets a value that indicates whether the current typeface and the specified typeface have the same FontFamily, Style, Weight, Stretch, and fallback font values. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for Typeface. It is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| TryGetGlyphTypeface | Retrieves the GlyphTypeface that corresponds to the Typeface. |
// Return the typeface collection for the fonts in the selected URI location. System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<Typeface> typefaces = Fonts.GetTypefaces("file:///C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\#Georgia"); // Enumerate the typefaces in the collection. foreach (Typeface face in typefaces) { // Separate the URI directory source info from the font family name. string[] familyName = face.FontFamily.Source.Split('#'); // Add the font family name, weight, and style values to the typeface combo box. comboBoxTypeface.Items.Add(familyName[familyName.Length - 1] + " " + face.Weight + " " + face.Style); } comboBoxTypeface.SelectedIndex = 0;
