Using Text and Fonts
Windows GDI+ provides several classes that form the foundation for drawing text. The Graphics class has several DrawString methods that allow you to specify various features of text, such as location, bounding rectangle, font, and format. Other classes that contribute to text rendering include FontFamily, Font, StringFormat, InstalledFontCollection, and PrivateFontCollection.
The following topics cover text and fonts in more detail:
- Constructing Font Families and Fonts
- Drawing Text
