Font Preview Problem with Fonts not supporting Regular Style

[Vaibhav Sharma]

Hi, I am on a project of creating handful VS 2005 addins and one of them is an in-built Font Previewer. Now i have done the basic jobs required to fill the list in an enhanced User Drawn Listbox and on SelectedIndexChange_Event i have updated the preview text. The problem comes in when a Font doesnot support FontStyle.Regular In this case i get an exception stating: "Font 'Whatever be its name' doesnot support the FontStyle Regular." So what can you guys suggest. Awaiting responses from all interested. The project is a VB .NET one, but any CLR compliant version would do.
