| Default | DevExpress controls use the WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultFont font. |
| UseTahoma | DevExpress controls use the Tahoma font of the default system font size (SystemFonts.DefaultFont.Size). |
| UseWindowsFont | DevExpress controls use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont system font. |
| UseControlFont | DevExpress controls use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.DefaultFont system font. |
| UseSegoeUI | DevExpress controls use the “Segoe UI” font. |
| ForceTahoma | Forces standard .NET and DevExpress controls to use the Tahoma font of the default system font size (SystemFonts.DefaultFont.Size). |
| ForceWindowsFont | Forces standard .NET and DevExpress controls to use the System.Drawing.SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont system font. |
| ForceSegoeUI | Forces standard .NET and DevExpress controls to use the “Segoe UI” font. |
Note
You can also specify fonts for controls using the application settings architecture. This allows you to separate application settings from the application code and provide consistency between design and run time. See the WindowsFormsSettings.LoadApplicationSettings method for details.
