Seems a bit hacky to me. I know nothing can be done about it so it’s unfortunate!

As request, code is now licensed under the new BSD license which should allow anyone to use it.

Thanks for this tips, although I’m late with this I took your code and “tweaked” it a little bit, for example if will now also respect FontStyle.Italic, ignore custom fonts and some other things.

If you are interested, have a look:

Set AutoScaleMode to “None” before changing the font.

If it’s set to AutoScaleMode is set to “Font”, the dialog and all the child controls will change size when you change fonts.

Thanks for working on the font problem. I don’t have time to sort it out. I just set the font, color, size, and so on every time I want to use it. It seems like I should go to page setup in windows but there’s no way at that point.

Best wishes.
