    V2 - Unable To Select Favourite Font

    Accessed via the Tools | Options menu.

    I use the Dina monospace font in Visual Studio as I find this more appealing that Courier or other fonts:

    However this font isn't shown in the font list when I attempt to change it within SQLDbControl.

    Thanks Andrew,

    I'll see if we can add this font to the font-list with the next build.

    Not a big issue so priority is low. I guess I was a bit surprised though - I had always thought that the Windows font dialog listed whatever fonts were in the Windows/Font directory, but obviously not.

    The problem lies with .NETs implementation of the FontDialog, which only supports TrueType fonts.  I'll see whether it's possible to display our own FontDialog, in order to support other fonts.

    I hadn't been aware of that limitation, so thanks for that info.

    It's a little confusing that the .NET FontDialog doesn't support non-truetype, but they give you the option in Visual Studio to choose a non-truetype. Thanks Microsoft!
