Solution 1

Here some links that explains how to do it in a detailed way.
Managed Font Combobox[^]
FontComboBox - a font listing combo box for .NET[^]
Additional link 1[^]
Additional link 2[^]
-or the shortest you can use this code;

C#

List<string> fonts = new List<string>();  
foreach (FontFamily font in System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families) 
{     
  fonts.Add(font.Name); 
}

and bind the combobox with the list.

Good luck

Tried to edit out the closing </string> tags. But failed miserably 3 times in a row... :-O
My 5 for the solution though!

It might be helpful,

C#

cmbFonts.DataSource = System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families.Select(family => family.Name).ToList<string>();
