I want to get the real time latest Environment font information of visual studio using c# dot net. Is there any listeners available and a method to get the latest current visual studio environment font information I am calling this method
System.Drawing.Font font = VsShellUtilities.GetEnvironmentFont();
var fontfamily = font.Name;
var fontsize = String.Format("{0}pt", font.SizeInPoints);
in the VSColorTheme.ThemeChanged event it also some how listens the font change event also but the problem with this is when we change the font 1st time it does not give me the latest value from 2nd time onwards if i change it works fine. and also if i change the theme first and then onwards I change the fonts it works fine everything is in real time i am talking about.
C#, visual studio 2022

Hi @vasu bansal , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
VsShellUtilities.GetEnvironmentFont() only caches the font information after the first call. When you change the VS font for the first time, it will not return the latest font information immediately, but continue to return the old value. Subsequent changes will take effect, because VsShellUtilities.GetEnvironmentFont() does not automatically monitor font changes.
You need to monitor VS font change events, use IVsShellPropertyEvents to monitor VS environment font changes, and then re-get the latest value when the font changes.
