How to detect if the font is a true type font by using VB.NET?

Hi,

We are trying to load all the true type font font name inside the user system into a combo box.
We manage to work until the code as below, but, may I know how can we check if the font is a true type font?

Please advice.



For Each font As FontFamily In FontFamily.Families
                If (font.IsStyleAvailable(FontStyle.Regular)) Then
                      ' Do some code here
                End If
            Next font

http://www.developerfusion.com/code/189/truetype-font/ <- this is design for VB but not VB.NET.

http://aspalliance.com/318_Loading_a_true_type_font_with_GDI <- this is just loading True Type Font, but it's not checking if the input font is a valid true type font or not.

Thanks.

It's okay. Just that I tried that VB6 solution before and trying to convert to .NET, but no luck.
