Quick hack: http://web.telia.com/~u16122953/guitx2d.zip (Exe + Delphi 5
source, 270 kB)

working out which font file to use is a bit of a pain sometimes...

I googled for it (going from font name to font file) and could only find the
advice to enumerate all font files and read the info in them. Sounds like
loads of work :-(

I did it the other way around - point to a font file, and my GUI shows a
preview of the font.

Feel free to try it!

(...) I was trying to knock something up in VB, but came across the problem of getting the file from the font. I couldn't find anything suitable in the registry either. (19 years ago, 1-May-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
