Hello shosho,

Thank you for writing.

Please find below a code snippet populating all available fonts in a dropdown list of a RadRibbonBar control:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.SetFontFamilyItems();
}

private void SetFontFamilyItems()
{
    InstalledFontCollection font = new InstalledFontCollection();
    foreach (System.Drawing.FontFamily family in font.Families)
    {
        if (family.IsStyleAvailable(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular) &&
            family.IsStyleAvailable(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic) &&
            family.IsStyleAvailable(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold))
        {
            this.radDropDownListElement.Items.Add(family.Name);
        }
    }

}

 
I would also suggest that you get acquainted with our RichTextEditor control which provides a fully functional ribbon bar with text editing capabilities out of the box. The functionality of the RichTextEditor is very well displayed in our demo application, the source code is usually located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for WinForms Q3 2014\Examples\RichTextEditor.

Hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
