// Return the typeface collection for the fonts in the selected URI location.
System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<Typeface> typefaces = Fonts.GetTypefaces("file:///C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\#Georgia");

// Enumerate the typefaces in the collection.
foreach (Typeface face in typefaces)

    // Add the font family name, weight, and style values to the typeface combo box.

Remarks

A typeface is a single variation of a font within the same font family. An example of a typeface is an italic version of the "Times New Roman" font family. Typeface defines the weight, style and stretching features of a font.

Constructors

Typeface(FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight, FontStretch, FontFamily)	Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family name, Style, Weight, and Stretch values. In addition, a fallback font family is specified.
Typeface(FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight, FontStretch)	Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family name, Style, Weight, and Stretch values.
Typeface(String)	Initializes a new instance of the Typeface class for the specified font family typeface name.

Properties

CapsHeight	Gets the distance from the baseline to the top of an English capital letter for the typeface.
FaceNames	Gets a collection of culture-specific names for the Typeface.
FontFamily	Gets the name of the font family from which the typeface was constructed.
IsBoldSimulated	Determines whether to simulate a bold weight for the glyphs represented by the Typeface.
IsObliqueSimulated	Determines whether to simulate an italic style for the glyphs represented by the Typeface.
Stretch	Gets the stretch value for the Typeface. The stretch value determines whether a typeface is expanded or condensed when it is displayed.
StrikethroughPosition	Gets a value that indicates the distance from the baseline to the strikethrough for the typeface.
StrikethroughThickness	Gets a value that indicates the thickness of the strikethrough relative to the font em size.
Style	Gets the style of the Typeface.
UnderlinePosition	Gets a value that indicates the distance of the underline from the baseline for the typeface.
UnderlineThickness	Gets a value that indicates the thickness of the underline relative to the font em size for the typeface.
Weight	Gets the relative weight of the typeface.
XHeight	Gets the distance from the baseline to the top of an English lowercase letter for a typeface. The distance excludes ascenders.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Gets a value that indicates whether the current typeface and the specified typeface have the same FontFamily, Style, Weight, Stretch, and fallback font values.
GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for Typeface. It is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
TryGetGlyphTypeface(GlyphTypeface)	Retrieves the GlyphTypeface that corresponds to the Typeface.
