Also look at:

In the properties window of the (text) components the wrong font name is shown. Always Franklin Gothic but it's not.

I have another issue related to fonts. I can select the Arial Narrow in the font chooser but it displays as the regular Arial.

I've checked the font in any which way I can and it is good. It came with Windows itself, so...

And it is a regular TrueType, so a really separate font file for each of the family members.

I've been doing a little work in this area, and Private Fonts are not displayed in the Chooser at all. The entries with multiple squares, as far as I can tell are fonts which cannot be properly rendered for some reason (maybe not correct TrueType (?)). Anyway, I am going to scope this issue to the inclusion of Private Fonts in the Font Chooser.
The appearance of 'Franklin Gothic' as the font name is due to the deserialisation of the TextFormat updating the private variable rather than the public version. This too should now be fixed.

The TextFormat class serialize/deserialize now need to make a call to FontManager to pick up the private font.

Arial problem also looks to be an artefact of the way Helios concatenates the family and style and uses it for the FontFamily even though there is a FontStyle property. Adding the word "Narrow" to "Arial" in the FontFamily element of the profile XML has the desired affect. More investigation is needed.

Arial problem was nothing to do with my previous comment. Arial problem is due to Helios defaulting the 'stretch' property of font style to Medium. I've removed the default, and implemented stretch property into Helios TextFormat and Font Chooser.
