HUGE font

[SteveInBeloit]

I need to have the font of a lable be huge. Like 1 1/2" or so tall. When you go to the size property, XX-Large is as big as it goes, and that is still way too small.
How do I go about getting bigger font?
Thanks

You'll probably have to use GDI+ to dynamically create your text and output the text as a graphic.

You can write "anything" into the Size field, for example "1,5in". This is culture dependent, if it doesn't work for you try "1.5in" (notice the decimal separator). Designer will only help you by providing the members of the FontSize enumeration.

To read more you could follow the documentation from Label class, Font property > FontInfo class, Size property > FontUnit structure, constructor. Checking out these constructors will give you an idea what you can write free-text in the Size field, and they can of course be set in code.

JohnH,
Yep, that did the trick.
Thanks!
