Font Class

Syntax

public sealed class Font : IDisposable

Remarks

You can use this class for two intentions.

1. Specifying text rendering parameters. These settings are used to draw the text. This way you can specify font Name, Size, make it Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikeout, etc. You can also adjust text rendering quality by using Antialiased property. Using HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties you specify how to locate text relatively drawing coordinates.
2. Text measurement. If you need to know individual positions of each character in the text string, you can use GetCharacterPositions(String, Single) method. If you need more advanced calculations, this class provides you a number of font metrics, like Ascent, Descent, AverageCharWidth, ExternalLeading, InternalLeading, and others.

Examples

using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(300, 30, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, RgbColor.White))
{
    using (var graphics = bitmap.GetGraphics())
    {
        //Draw text
        var font = new Font("Futura Md BT", 20);
        font.Bold = false;
        font.Italic = true;
        font.Underline = true;
        font.Strikeout = false;
        font.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

        var brush = new SolidBrush(RgbColor.Red);

        graphics.DrawString("Sample text", font, brush, 150, 0);

        bitmap.Save(@"Images\Output\string.png");
    }
}
