How to Find Icon Font?

[Jeff Gaines]

Is it possible to discover the font used for icons in .NET?

I have found SystemInformation.MenuFont but so far haven't been able
to find the icon font.

Icons don't have fonts. Icons aren't text, or even vector graphics, like
fonts are. They're raster images, which is to say, a big grid of pixel color
values. If there happens to be text inside of an icon, it's not really text,
but an image of text, which is to say, the text itself isn't stored in the
icon, but the pixels that make up the text when drawn in the way it is.

Icon titles do have font. In Win32 it would be:

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETICONTITLELOGFONT, ...);

You can always use P/Invoke if you don't find CLR equivalent.

Sorry I was being sloppy, I meant the Icon Title Font as Jerry
surmised.

Many thanks, that works fine, another DLL prototype for the library!
