Description
The FaceName property specifies the typeface used for text in the control. For tab controls, the property specifies the typeface for text labels on tabs.
The typefaces available for your use are those installed on your system. Keep in mind that the fonts available to you may not be available where you deploy your application.
Usage
This property does not work in MonthCalendar controls on the Windows 7/8.1/10 operating system.
