Vista - Vista Fonts

Hello,

I want to use the new Vista Font in my application (C#). Whats the name of
the font? I have no vista, but I wrote applications for vista. Is it allowed
to use the font without having vista (beta)?

There are a number of new vista fonts. You are best to avoid referring
to fonts by name, and simply using general programmatic references,
regardless of which O/S version you are using.

The Vista SDK documentation on MSDN can guide you.

Segoe UI .... that's the name of the font I want to use in my app..

What do you mean with the Vista SDK, the Windows SDK which size is more than
1000 MB? Can you post a link please?

I believe the SDK is only available to connect testers.

Ah, that's the font of Microsoft and/or Linotype... see, e.g.,

Here is nice article about the six new fonts in Vista:

I think Consolas is the one for developers.
