Great. For those interested, this is a trimmed down version of what is referred to as the "Pack URI" in WPF. Trust me, you want the trimmed down version :).
But as to the reason of "why" it is like this, that is for WPF compatibility! -th tim heuer | (602) 405-4567 | im: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> blog: http://timheuer.com/blog/ | twitter: @timheuer<http://twitter.com/timheuer> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Perry Stathopoulos Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] Loading a custom font from a class library Doh! I didn't think you literally meant to add "component" in your previous message. I thought it was in case the font was in a subfolder or something. Works like a charm now. Thanks!

[cid:[email protected]] Anyway I recreated my problem in this simple solution (in attachment). If you can take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated. Ideally I want to set the FontFamily programmatically in the control, but if I have to use a template that is acceptable.

And the font is compiled as a Resource (not Embedded Resource) in MyCustomControl.dll? If so, FontFamily in an element in Foo.dll should be: MyCustomControl;component/fontfile.ttf#Font Name <ShortAssemblyName>;component/<fontresourcefilename>#<fontfamilyname> -th tim heuer | (602) 405-4567 | im: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> blog: http://timheuer.com/blog/ | twitter: @timheuer<http://twitter.com/timheuer> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Perry Stathopoulos Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 4:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzSilverlight] Loading a custom font from a class library I'm having trouble loading a custom font that is embedded in a class library that is required by a custom control in that library. I set the FontFamily as fontfile.ttf#FontName, and my font is set as embedded. If I add the font file as embedded in my main silverlight application then it works, however this is not what I would like to do as I want a self containing custom control including its resources. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
