Instead of setting your own fonts, another thing to consider is using the SystemFonts class

This will then use the font the user has currently selected in their Appearance settings

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.systemfonts%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]

e.g. set the font property of the form in your ctor

C#

public class YourForm : Form
{
    public YourForm()
    {
        this.Font = SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont;
    }
}

Solution 1

C#

TextBox1.Font = new Font(new FontFamily("Tahoma"), TextBox1.Font.Size, TextBox1.Font.Style, TextBox1.Font.Unit);

This way you can retain the style if you have specified any.
