I want to add a new font to Visual Studio 2008 property window to set the font of a textbox.

I add the font to c:\Windows\fonts, but I am unable to use it in visual studio. Why so?

You don't have to add fonts to Visual Studio, of course.
Your report indicates that you did not really add your font to the system, you only copied it in the directory. If not sure, try to run "Character Map" application: you won't find it.

Just add your font to the system properly using Control Panel Applet "Fonts". It will show a menu item "Files -> Install new font".

You can change the code of any control using the property Control.Font. You can also inherit font from the parent control at any level of hierarchy.

In response to a comment by OP:

I added the last sentence to my Answer (what, you never looked at the Properties window before asking about it?! I had no idea that anyone may need this instruction; please look at properties and Help!).
