✅ Font Families Support By Avalonia?

I have tried looking through the github repo and across google for a list of font families that the framework supports when doing

<Button FontFamily="Times New Roman"></Button>

<Button FontFamily="Times New Roman"></Button>

but I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know where there is a legit list? Thanks

Embed the font, don't directly set the font. The user must also have the font installed if you don't embed it

MekOP•3/3/24, 11:45 PM

ok thanks for the advice, but what about the fonts that avalonia supports?

Supports?

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:45 PM

It can handle all of them

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:46 PM

You embed the fonts as mentioned

MekOP•3/3/24, 11:47 PM

what do you mean by embed them?

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:47 PM

You copy them into your resources

And that will only use the font installed on your computer

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:49 PM

so check your PCs installed fonts

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:50 PM

If another user launches your application that does not have the font installed, it will use the default font for said application.

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:50 PM

That is why it is recommended to add the font to resources within your app. That way the user does not need to have said font installed as it's loaded from memory.

MekOP•3/3/24, 11:51 PM

ok so I have a font in . You said in the resources of the csproj so I'm assuming that is double clicking the project at the top of the solution explorer?

MekOP•3/3/24, 11:52 PM

MMek ok so I have a font in `/Assets/Fonts/ShadowsIntoLight-Regular.ttf`. You said in...

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:52 PM

Buddy•3/3/24, 11:53 PM

Nunito being the font name

MekOP•3/4/24, 12:05 AM

Buddy•3/4/24, 12:05 AM

Buddy•3/4/24, 12:06 AM

That is managed by the font weight
