I thought I had a good idea while working on a WPF/E presentation I'm doing February 3, 2007 at the
Phoenix INETA meeting. I won't give away what I'm doing, but I wanted to use a wingding font in a TextBlock.
It didn't work.
I posed the question in the
WPF/E Google Group started by Michael Schwarz. Michael pointed out to me that it may not be possible at this point in time. I had already asked in the MSDN forum, and got a response there a bit later.
It turns out there are a LOT of fonts available to us in the December CTP, and even one ding font.
The font list according to Mark Rideout, a Microsoft Program Manager is:
Macintosh Fonts“Arial” (font suitcase)
“Arial Black” (font suitcase)
“Comic Sans MS” (font suitcase)
“Courier New” (font suitcase)
“Georgia” (font suitcase)
“LucidaGrande.dfont”
“Times New Roman” (font suitcase)
“Trebuchet MS” (font suitcase)
“Verdana” (font suitcase)
“Webdings” (font suitcase))
“Arial” (font suitcase)

It's great that Webdings is on the list and the list is actually much larger than I expected when I had the problem.
