### Description

Gets or sets the font used for the bullet character. When a new bullet character is set without specifying a font, the Windows Symbol font is assumed.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string FontName { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property FontName As String
```

### Examples

The following example applies `FontName` while converting three selected paragraphs into a usable bulleted list.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "Research\nDraft\nReview";
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length);

ListFormat listFormat = new()
{
    Type = ListType.Bulleted,
    FontName = "Arial"
};
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat;
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "Research" & vbCrLf & "Draft" & vbCrLf & "Review"
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length)

Dim listFormat As New ListFormat() With {
    .Type = ListType.Bulleted,
    .FontName = "Arial"
}
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat
```

### Remarks

The property returns an empty string when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed settings or when the text selection does not contain a numbered list. The [Selection.IsCommonValueSelected](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/selection/iscommonvalueselected-method/llms-full.txt) method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
