Answer 1

_fontDialog.ShowDialog (); Var test = _fontDialog.Font.GdiCharSet.GetHashCode();

// will get you started. Trace it [step-into] and watch the test value change in a watch list in Debug mode to discover the rest.

Answer 2

/* Okay, sorry I didn't have more time for this the other day.
 * But there is a very simple/eloquent solution for this that will
 * leave you wondering why you didn't think of it. AND...
 * Such is programming LoL.
*/

// Say I have existing code something like:

PrintFont = PrintMasterSettings.Default.PrintFont;

/* 
* Where PrintSettings.Default.PrintFont is persistent storage for PrintFont.
* Fine & dandy. The PrintFont gets brought back in, size, style, everything
* BUT The Script Selection. Am I close to the problem a lot of people have
* here Much YET?  ROFL. And try as you might you can't SET; the GdiCharSet
* value Because _fontDialog.Font.GdiCharSet has no SETTER. Right?  Been
* there done much more than that. No t-shirt... but I did figure it out in
* about ten minutes after sleeping on it.
*
* What to charge for the answer and who to sell it to?  LOL. Give up yet???
* Well, I have an "advantage" in that I'm self-taught. Think out of that box
* most programming profs have never done much programming. True fact.
* So how to do it is alluding you because you are trying to do it the
* "right way" and, instead, should be focused on doing it period.
*
* "Some way, GdiCharSet my ***; MAKE IT GD work!" the boss said. 
* "Searching StackOverflow says it can't be done." I said. 
* "Prove them wrong!" he said. "If you buy lunch?" I said with finality.
* "Fine!" he said. ***I had a Nice thick and rare New York steak!
*

// Okay, So now I simply call my special custom method like so:

PrintFont = GetFontWithScript();

// Okay, I mean don't feel dumb. Things don't always work in .NET...
// NOT like you'd think they should. But there is usually a simple way.
// I'm thinking it's an indexer to a collection right. But no it's just as
// Gd simple. LoL  Enjoy! (yes, this really works. The initial value for
// PrintSettings.Default.GdiCharSet should be set to 1 btw.)

// Then somewhere before your _fontDialog.ShowDialog(); you have:

_fontDialog.Font = PrintFont;

// Right...  But the big money is in the method. Check in the mail? LoL
// Promise you won't feel dumb? Because you're not, you made it to here!
// You searched it and found someone who knew. That's pretty smart!
// Nobody around here even knows what I'm on about mate. G'day.

// Okay here it is... This should help a lot of peeps. 
// Please mark This ANSWER AS USEFUL if it helps you guys and gals out.

  return new Font(name,size,style,unit,charSet);
