Why doesn't the installed font appear in the font selection dialog?

I installed the OpenType font on my development machine, expecting then that you can select this font for the label in the form.

The font is available in MS Word, so I'm sure it was installed normally, but I do not see the font in the font selection dialog for the label in Visual Studio. I also checked the font settings in Tools> Options, and it also does not exist. Executing the code from this answer does not display the font. I tried restarting VS.Net.

What else can I do to make this font appear in Visual Studio?

GDI + does not support OpenType, only TrueType.

If you have not tried restarting Visual Studio, I would try.

Assuming you already did this, is the font specified in c: \ windows \ fonts \ okay? If so, you can try to remove it, and then reinstall this font through the menu "File"> "Install New Font ..." when you have this window open.

Just some ideas and things to try. Hope this helps!
