I want to test font rendering of a VB.NET graphics library (at https://github.com/lwchkg/VBGraphics), and wants to know if AppVeyor supports drawing text with TextRenderer.DrawText.

If yes, which font(s) is/are available? It seems we have Arial, but not Arial Italic here. (I want to use a font with bold/italic variants, to fully test the library.)

Thanks!

    It depends on the image you are running your build on. Visual Studio 2015 image is based on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Visual Studio 2017 is based on Windows Server 2016. Check docs for both OSes which fonts come with them by default.
