Adding a font for Windows Phone Applications

Question

I'm trying to change my font to a custom tff file. I have followed this tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be working. I followed its exact steps and nothing. Thanks for helping :)

Seems kinda confusing. Is it for Microsoft Visual Studios 2010 for Windows Phone o-O? — InfernoKun, Jan 20 '13 at 21:33
if you followed the tutorial exactly, you are now using the Buxton Sketch font. You may want to replace the values in here `FontFamily=".\Fonts\BuxtonSketch.ttf#Buxton Sketch"` with the font path and font name you are intending to use, like `FontFamily=".\Fonts\Quagmire.ttf#Giggity"` or your values. — Todd Main, Jan 21 '13 at 08:11

Without seeing the code you are using it is hard to say what could be wrong. Take a look at this sample by Jeff Blankenburg.

As Den has said I used Jeff's sample to include custom fonts.

When I added the fonts to my app, initially it did not work. It was because I assumed the file name was the font name. Later when I opened the ttf file, the first line was the font name and it was different from the file name.

Just a clue.
