In order to reference font resource items from code, you must supply a two-part font resource reference: the base uniform resource identifier (URI) and the font location reference.

Referencing Font Resource Items from Code

#Adding fonts to universal type client how to

The following markup example shows how to reference the application's font resources. The element for the build action is not supported. When you add fonts as resources to your application, make sure you are setting the element, and not the element in your application's project file. The following project file example shows how to define fonts as resource items in a separate subdirectory.

Using a separate subdirectory for resources helps to organize the application's project files. You can add fonts to your application as project resource items that are embedded within the application's assembly files. The following code example shows how to reference the application's font as a content item-the referenced content item must be in the same directory as the application's assembly files. The following project file example shows how to copy fonts to the deployment directory. The element in the application's project file allows you to automatically copy the fonts to the application deployment directory during the build process. In order to ensure that the application can use the fonts at run time, the fonts must be accessible in the application's deployment directory. The following project file example shows how to define content items. This means that content items are not embedded as resources within an assembly. You can add fonts to your application as project content items that are separate from the application's assembly files. The Microsoft Typography Web site includes contact information that can help you locate a particular font vendor or find a font vendor for custom work.

Refer to the 'OS/2 and Windows Metrics' section of the OpenType Specification for more information on the fsType flag. You can retrieve the font embedding rights for a font by creating a GlyphTypeface object and referencing its EmbeddingRights property. However, this type flag only refers to embedded fonts stored in a document–it does not refer to fonts embedded in an application. OpenType and TrueType® fonts contain a type flag, fsType, that indicates font embedding licensing rights for the font. You can also create a resource-only font library, which your application can reference. The fonts can be separate from or embedded within the application's assembly files. You can easily package fonts as resources within your WPF applications to display user interface text and other types of text based content.

#Adding fonts to universal type client license

Therefore, as a developer it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the required license rights for any font you embed within an application or otherwise redistribute. Licenses that govern the use of fonts vary from vendor to vendor but in general most licenses, including those covering the fonts Microsoft supplies with applications and Windows, do not allow the fonts to be embedded within applications or otherwise redistributed. To reset the list of excluded fonts to default click Reset to Default from the Tasks drop down menu.As with most types of software, font files are licensed, rather than sold.

Resetting List of Excluded Fonts to Default Untick the option Automatically exclude font from embedding in the select font dialog box so the font is not excluded from the embedding list.

#Adding fonts to universal type client install

NOTE: By default fonts added to the auto install list will be excluded from the embedding list because the fonts would be installed on the Windows clients, therefore there is no need for them to be embedded. To automatically install a specific font type on servers and clients click Add from the Tasks drop down menu in the Auto install fonts section and select the fonts from the list. Automatically Install Fonts on Servers and Clients To exclude a specific font type from being embedded, click Add from the Tasks drop down menu in the Exclude the following Fonts from embedding section and select a font from the list. Embed Fonts Options Excluding Fonts from Embedding To control the embedding of fonts within a print job use the Fonts Management tab and check/uncheck the option Embed Fonts. If the fonts are not present on the client machine the print out would not be correct. Fonts need to be embedded so when printing a document using Universal Printing, the document is copied to the local spooler of the client machine to be printed.
