Hi Tony,

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
Font font1 = new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold);

FontFamily ff = new FontFamily("Arial");
Font font2 = new Font(ff, 12, FontStyle.Bold);

FontConverter converter = new FontConverter();
Font font3 = (Font)converter.ConvertFromString("Arial, 12pt,
style=Bold");

g.DrawString("Hello, World!", font1, Brushes.Blue, 10, 10);
g.DrawString("Hello, World!", font2, Brushes.Blue, 10, 30);
g.DrawString("Hello, World!", font3, Brushes.Blue, 10, 50);

MessageBox.Show(String.Format("font1 == font2 : {0}",
font1.Equals(font2)));
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("font1 == font3 : {0}",
font1.Equals(font3)));
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("font2 == font3 : {0}",
font2.Equals(font3)));
}

All would print the same and the result of equality is all true.

Please note that, the converter is sensitive to culture information and
if your current culture is other than english, you should translate the
comma (',') character to the equivalance character of your culture.

Regards.

The easiest thing to do is to create the desired font "normally" and then
use FontConverter.ConvertToString() to see what the output is. The input to
ConvertFromString() should look exactly the same.

Yes, and I found that some countries in Europe use semicolon (';')
instead of comma (','). That's probably the source of Tony's error. Or,
he could use ConvertFromInvariantString() to instruct the converter to
parse using invariant culture.
