如何从.Net Core中的ttf文件获取字体名称

Question

I am trying to migrate my MVC 6 project to .NET Core 2.0 and we all know that lots of things are missing or is still in the development phase.

I have a fonts folder containaing a number of .ttf files. My objective here is to retrieve all the Font Family Names from those ttf files.

Previously, I was using the PrivateFontCollection under the System.Drawing.Text namespace . The code was something like the answer to this post .

But it is not working in .NET Core.

Am I missing a dll reference or is there another way to do it in .NET Core.

Here is a sample of what i really want :

Answer 1

Great!!! It seems someone provided a mono implementation of System.Drawing. CoreCompat.System.Drawing

Answer 2

.Net Core >= 2.1 now supports System.Drawing.Common . This is a Microsoft supported library which includes PrivateFontCollection.
