I'm working on a WPF application using C#. So far, I have added a custom font using a ResourceDictionary on my application. When I run the app I can see the font works fine, but on the Design tab of my XAML it always shows the default font. Could I be missing something to set my designer correctly?
App.xaml
<Application x:Class="Bali.Chat.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Bali.Chat"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Styles/Fonts.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Fonts.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<FontFamily x:Key="LatoRegular">pack://application;,,,/Fonts/#Lato Regular</FontFamily>
<FontFamily x:Key="LatoThin">pack://application;,,,/Fonts/#Lato Thin</FontFamily>
</ResourceDictionary>
MainWindow.xaml
<Window x:Class="Bali.Chat.MainWindow"
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"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Bali.Chat"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Icon="Images/Logo/logo-small.png"
WindowStyle="None"
AllowsTransparency="True"
Title="Bali Chat"
Height="250" Width="400">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Default Font!" FontSize="40" />
<TextBlock Text="Thin Font" FontSize="40" FontFamily="{StaticResource LatoThin}" />
<TextBlock Text="Regular Font" FontSize="40" FontFamily="{StaticResource LatoRegular}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
This is what I get on my designer
And this is what I get if I run the application
I really would like to preview what I'm trying to render without having to start the application or check it on the live preview. The tutorial I am following does show the presenter seeing the proper font in the designer, so I know there are some issues. Thanks in advance.
