The Form's caption font is controled by a System setting for all forms, you can't change it just for your form. The font properties for a form are applied to any output being displayed to the form itself - like ? (print). [ Note for purists, I believe there are some API calls that might allow you to change the caption font, but it won't be easy! ]

If the Font is installed on a given workstation it can be used for changing a command buttons font. Remeber that if a specified font isn't installed then Windows will pick one it thinks is "close" to what's been requested. Because many fonts are licensed or only work on specific OS's, you really shouldn't just copy fonts around. If you do they could cause problems or violate copyright restrictions.
