How to Change The TextBox Font by FontName?

Answer 1

If you're working with the Font class, consider using the provided FontConverter instead of trying to parse the results of System.Drawing.Font.ToString() yourself.

Here's an example:

// Use the provided converter to get and store a culture-invariant string.
var converter = new FontConverter();
string fontInfo = converter.ConvertToInvariantString(txtNotepad.Font);
File.WriteAllText("path", fontInfo);

// Retrieve the string and set the Font property on your TextBox.
fontInfo = File.ReadAllText("path");
txtNotepad.Font = converter.ConvertFromInvariantString(fontInfo) as Font;

This approach prevents you from reinventing the wheel and provides handling for other culture formats.
