Is it possible to get the names of all installed fonts or font-families to an array. I have tried to use System.Drawing.InstalledFontCollection and I am not sure how to use it. My goal is to get all installed fonts on a listbox. Can you give an example, because i'm a beginner.
 
The Families property of a new instance of the InstalledFontCollection
class returns a collection of FontFamily classes that can be
looped through in a For-Each loop. Just declare a new FontFamily,
a new instance of the IFC class, and loop through its Families property.

Visual Basic: 
Dim ff As FontFamily
Dim ifc As New System.Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection()

For Each ff In ifc.Families
  ' Do something with ff (ff.Name gets the font name)
Next

By the way, the namespace to use is System.Drawing.Text.
