Converting Font style string into Font

Hello,

I want to convert styles from a String to a Form object.

So ifound that i can use FontConverter that will do just that... as
in the help:

// Create the FontConverter.
TypeConverter converter =
TypeDescriptor. GetConverter(ty peof(Font));
Font font = (Font) converter.Conve rtFromString("A rial, 12pt");

except that it only seems ot take FontFamily and FontSize, but won't
understand FontStyle (Bold, Italic etc...)

Does anyone know of a converter that does it all?

Thanks for help!
