Font Editor Dialog Box (Devices)
Provides options for specifying fonts in device projects.
To display this dialog box from Design View, right-click any component that has a Font property (for example, the form itself), click Properties in the shortcut menu, select Font in the Properties window, and then click Browse (…).
This dialog box is slightly different from its desktop counterpart. Specifically, the Show all fonts check box accommodates the fact that all the fonts available on the development computer are likely not supported on the target device. Clearing the check box displays only those fonts that are predefined for the target device.
Note
You can also add your own font from the development computer by selecting that font and copying its files from the desktop to the Windows\Fonts directory on the device.
