Using a new font family in a Silverlight application is fairly simple. There are several ways for doing it. The simplest of them is adding the TTF file to our application (simple drag & drop when using the Visual Studio IDE) and referring it from within the XAML file.
<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication15.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400"> <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <TextBlock FontSize="24" FontFamily="Foo.ttf#Foo">We Love Silverlight!</TextBlock> </Grid> </UserControl>
The following video clip shows how does it work.
