Solution 1

Hello,

Assign the font to your form and it will apply it to all the form's controls.
for eaxmaple something like that will work:

VB

$form1.Text = "My PowerShell Window"
$form1.Name = "form1"
$form1.Font = "Courier New"

It's amazing, but this highly simplified form works. My 5.

I added more detailed answer on how to use full .NET API
Also, OP may need to know how to load the System.Windows.Forms assembly.

Happy New Year!

In addition to the correct Solution 1:

For complete form of font creation, you should use regular .NET API:

In any cases, first you need to load the required assembly in your script:

$null = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")

and only then:

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
# ...
$form.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font( `
   New-Object System.Drawing.FontFamily("Arial"), `
   12, `
   [System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Italic)
# or something like that

See other constructors you can use:
