| Font::Font | Creates a Font::Font object directly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font. |
| Font::Font | Creates a Font::Font object directly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font. |
| Font::Font | Creates a Font::Font object indirectly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font by using a handle to a GDILOGFONT structure. |
| Font::Font | Creates a Font::Font object based on a FontFamily object, a size, a font style, and a unit of measurement. |
| Font::Font | Creates a Font::Font object based on a font family, a size, a font style, a unit of measurement, and a FontCollection object. |

| Font::GetFamily | The Font::GetFamily method gets the font family on which this font is based. |
| Font::GetHeight | The Font::GetHeight method gets the line spacing of this font in the current unit of a specified Graphics object. |
| Font::GetHeight | The Font::GetHeight method gets the line spacing, in pixels, of this font. |
| Font::GetLastStatus | The Font::GetLastStatus method returns a value that indicates the nature of this Font object's most recent method failure. |
| Font::GetLogFontA | The Font::GetLogFontA method uses a LOGFONTA structure to get the attributes of this Font object. |
| Font::GetLogFontW | The Font::GetLogFontW method uses a LOGFONTW structure to get the attributes of this Font object. |
| Font::GetSize | The Font::GetSize method returns the font size (commonly called the em size) of this Font object. The size is in the units of this Font object. |

Remarks
When using GDI+ API, you must never allow your application to download arbitrary fonts from untrusted sources. The operating system requires elevated privileges to assure that all installed fonts are trusted.
