I need to get a list of the available fonts as some type of collection or
array. How can I do this? Thanks.

Are you talking about Windows Forms or Web Forms? Do you want to enumerate
fonts on the client or on the server?

\\\
Dim g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
.... = FontFamily.GetFamilies(g)
g.Dispose()

InstalledFontCollection()

See your installed Help for the article entitled "How to: Enumerate
Installed Fonts". If you have trouble locating it, use the Index and locate
"fonts" and then "enumerating installed" under that.
