Source Code
This is the source code that shows how to load private fonts from a resource (WPF build):
public void Add(Uri baseUri, string familyName)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(familyName))
throw new ArgumentNullException("familyName");
if (familyName.Contains(","))
throw new NotImplementedException("Only one family name is supported.");
// family name starts right of '#'
int idxHash = familyName.IndexOf('#');
if (idxHash < 0)
throw new ArgumentException("Family name must contain a '#'. Example './#MyFontFamilyName'", "familyName");
string key = familyName.Substring(idxHash + 1);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
throw new ArgumentException("familyName has invalid format.");
if (this.fontFamilies.ContainsKey(key))
throw new ArgumentException("An entry with the specified family name already exists.");
System.Windows.Media.FontFamily fontFamily = new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily(baseUri, familyName);
this.fontFamilies.Add(key, fontFamily);
}
