FontFamily() Collection Refresh – Resolved.

April 10th, 2006 by Bryan Kinkel

Sort of. Apparently this is a bug in the gdiplus.dll and not the .NET Framework. Therefore it will not likely be fixed with a Visual Studio service pack. It has to be fixed by the OS team.

And Microsoft can’t provide any details about the bug:

Yes, the bug detailed record may have some Microsoft confidential
information in it, so it is not suitable for public publishing. Thanks for
your understanding.

Very aggrevating.

PrivateFontCollections & PrintPreview – Resolved.

April 10th, 2006 by Bryan Kinkel

After much back and forth with Microsoft staff running the MSDN Newsgroups, it was finally determined that the PrivateFontCollection / PrintPreview control bug is a bug in the Framework.

Microsoft has it tagged as a high priority bug. But there is no guarantee that it will get fixed in any of the upcoming Visual Studio Service packs. Bummer.

The full thread can be found in the MSDN Newsgroups.

PrintPreview with PrivateFontCollection

Be sure to visit the MSDN Newsgroups. They are a great resource and there are some good people running the operation.
