Sorry, just mistakenly addressed this to myself.

Hey Kevin,

It seems that I was too quick in my response to your message. Your modified code essentually provides default functionality for both Get and Set accessors, so overriding the property does nothing. Form designer adds Control.Font = new Font(...) line to form's code. The line is executed after the control is instantiated and this breaks inheritance. I am usinv VB. Perhaps, it works differently in C#. It seems the only way for me to enforce inheritance for fonts is to use your original approach. Of course, it will not allow to make changes to font settings via property sheet. An aternative would be to manually remove the line generated by the designer. However, it does not seem to be a practical solution.

Thanks,

Yuriy
