-Unique on the select makes it unbearably slow. Because the duplicates are all returned one after another it would be better to just do a quick check to see if the current font was the last font i.e.

$lastfont = $psISE.Options.FontName

[windows.media.fonts]::systemTypeFaces |Select-Object -Property fontFamily |ForEach-Object {

if ($_.fontFamily.source -ne $psISE.Options.FontName) {

$_.fontFamily.source

$psISE.Options.FontName = $_.fontFamily.source

$psISE.Options.FontSize = $fontSize

Start-Sleep -Milliseconds $millisecs

}

btw, I made the above by accident. I intended on setting $lastfont in each iteration of the loop, but I missed it. Somehow it still works. Even though it doesn't say it's a ref it looks like $lastfont becomes a ref to $psISE.Options.Fontname.
