Adding an external font to WP7 app

Question

我想要我的WP7应用程序控件并且有一个不在Visual Studio字体选择中的某种字体，如何将字体添加到Visual Studio的字体列表或直接添加到我的控件中？

Answer 1

This can be easily done using Expression Blend.

In your project, select a TextBlock and go to the Properties panel, under Text section, there is a Font Manager button (see below), click it and then you can select the font you want in a popup window.

Expression Blend will automatically create a Fonts folder and put all the embedded fonts in there, really easy to use. :)

Here's a post showing how to embed fonts in a silverlight project (see the section 'Custom Fonts'): http://blogs.silverlight.net/blogs/msnow/archive/2009/09/09/97060.aspx

I haven't tested this in a windows phone project but it should work.
