    Question Custom font for label

    I would like to display some label in custom font for which I have *.ttf file. So I added this file to solution to 'Resources' folder with build action set as a resource. Font`s name is Katana. Then I tried to set FontFamily of my label in this way:

    <Label FontFamily="./Resources/#Katana">Importing data...</Label>

    I tried many different combinations of that string but none of them worked. How to do that?

    Thank you for help

    Re: Custom font for label

    I think the font must be installed in Windows and avalable in system's Fonts folder. If you explore the folder, there is "Install new font" command in File menu.
    • Make it run.
    • Make it right.
    • Make it fast.

    I don`t think so. In my opinion MSDN also states that this is not true: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753303.aspx .

    What happens when you run the sample code from the link with the fonts from the sdk? Does it work?
