Where are you storing it? I write things to the Registry; my code
uses a new key for a font and puts name, size, colour, bold, italic,
underline, and strikeout in a value each. If you're bent on having a
single string you could encode it as XML or CSS or any format of your
own devising. (CSS would be rather nice, I think.)
Windows itself saves font information in the Registry as binary dumps
of TLogFontW records. Forty lines of Pascal to decode it or possibly
(I've not tried very hard) a single CreateFontIndirect call.
It's _always_ a good time to be extending your standard library.
Groetjes,
