copied!<p>Ok, currently I have a working, if a bit clunky feeling, solution. I have a static helper class that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>namespace FontFallbackTest { using System.Linq; using System.Windows.Markup; using System.Windows.Media; public static class FontHelper { private static readonly FontFamily testFont; public static FontFamily TestFont { get { return testFont; } } static FontHelper() { testFont = new FontFamily(); testFont.FamilyNames.Add(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage("en-US"), "TestFont"); if (Fonts.SystemFontFamilies.Any(f => f.FamilyNames.Any(kv => kv.Value == "Century Gothic"))) { testFont.FamilyMaps.Add(new FontFamilyMap() { Target = "Century Gothic" }); } testFont.FamilyMaps.Add(new FontFamilyMap() { Target = "Comic Sans MS", Scale = 0.5 }); } } } </code></pre> <p>Which I then reference in my XAML like this:</p> <pre><code><Window x:Class="FontFallbackTest.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:FontFallbackTest="clr-namespace:FontFallbackTest" Title="MainWindow" Height="550" Width="525"> <Grid> <Label Margin="0,100,0,0" FontSize="48" FontFamily="{x:Static FontFallbackTest:FontHelper.TestFont}">This is some text</Label> <Label Margin="0,150,0,0" FontSize="48" FontFamily="{x:Static FontFallbackTest:FontHelper.TestFont}">This is more text</Label> </Grid> </Window> </code></pre> <p>This seems to work - showing Century Gothic, ignoring Century, and allowing me to control font scaling on the fallbacks.</p>
