Referencing Font Resource Items from Code

#Adding fonts to universal type client how to

The following markup example shows how to reference the application's font resources. The element for the build action is not supported. When you add fonts as resources to your application, make sure you are setting the element, and not the element in your application's project file. The following project file example shows how to define fonts as resource items in a separate subdirectory. Using a separate subdirectory for resources helps to organize the application's project files. You can add fonts to your application as project resource items that are embedded within the application's assembly files. The following code example shows how to reference the application's font as a content item-the referenced content item must be in the same directory as the application's assembly files. The following project file example shows how to copy fonts to the deployment directory. The element in the application's project file allows you to automatically copy the fonts to the application deployment directory during the build process. In order to ensure that the application can use the fonts at run time, the fonts must be accessible in the application's deployment directory. The following project file example shows how to define content items. This means that content items are not embedded as resources within an assembly. You can add fonts to your application as project content items that are separate from the application's assembly files. The Microsoft Typography Web site includes contact information that can help you locate a particular font vendor or find a font vendor for custom work.

Refer to the 'OS/2 and Windows Metrics' section of the OpenType Specification for more information on the fsType flag.

You can retrieve the font embedding rights for a font by creating a GlyphTypeface object and referencing its EmbeddingRights property. However, this type flag only refers to embedded fonts stored in a document–it does not refer to fonts embedded in an application. OpenType and TrueType® fonts contain a type flag, fsType, that indicates font embedding licensing rights for the font. You can also create a resource-only font library, which your application can reference. The fonts can be separate from or embedded within the application's assembly files. You can easily package fonts as resources within your WPF applications to display user interface text and other types of text based content.

#Adding fonts to universal type client license

Therefore, as a developer it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the required license rights for any font you embed within an application or otherwise redistribute. Licenses that govern the use of fonts vary from vendor to vendor but in general most licenses, including those covering the fonts Microsoft supplies with applications and Windows, do not allow the fonts to be embedded within applications or otherwise redistributed.

#Adding fonts to universal type client install

Press the 'OK' button to install the fonts.As with most types of software, font files are licensed, rather than sold.

In the Fonts window, select the 'File menu', and choose 'Install New Font.'.

Select 'Fonts' from the 'See Also' panel at the left of the screen.

Select the 'Appearance and Themes' category.

Press the 'Install' button to install the fonts.

Navigate to the folder that contains the fonts you want to install.

If you don’t see the File menu, press 'ALT'.

Click 'File', and then click 'Install New Font.'.

Then select 'Appearance and Personalization.'.

From the 'Start' menu select 'Control Panel.'.

Fonts cannot be installed if they are zipped.

Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste the unzipped fonts files into the Fonts folder to install.

Click on the Fonts Folder to open the Font folder.

Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste the unzipped fonts into the Fonts Manager to install.

Click on the Fonts (Control Panel) link to open the Fonts Manager.

Unzip the folder containing the fonts first.

This does not mean it is actually unzipped. Some Windows operating systems allow you to peek inside a zipped folder. If you purchased both, you may be looking in the wrong folder. Fonts purchased for embedding cannot be installed as a desktop font.

Make sure you are installing the desktop fonts and not webfonts.
