Saving fonts - xml

I need to save some form settings like a font. I am using Xml and datasets. I save and retrieve the color property through the Color.FromName method but is there a way to cast a font out of a dataset? xml stores it as this: [Font: Name=Bookman Old Style, Size=8.25, Units=3, GdiCharSet=0, GdiVerticalFont=False] If not, what other option should I use to save and open settings files?
