hi,

according to the documentation System.Drawing.Font is serializable, well
at least it should be because it implements ISerializable. but when i
try to serialize it with XmlSerializer i get exception saying that this
object cannot be serialized because it hasn't got defined default public
constructor (or something like that - this is translation from other
language, so it may sound wired).

so how can i serialize Font object? is it serializable or this is
another documentation bug?

ISerializable is the interface for allowing an object to control its own
serialization and deserialization.
Typically classes in the framework implement this interface to support
binary serialisation.Using the [Serializable] attribute indicates that a
class supports binary serialisation (System.Runtime.Serialization Namespace)
NOT XmlSerialisation.

For a list of all members of this type, see ISerializable Members.
