How to Create Subset Fonts in .NET?

Question

I have a Silverlight application that I need to embed some less-than-common fonts in. It\'s simple enough for me to just copy over the TTF/OTF and compile that with my app.

Answer 1

In WPF for fonts there are static and dynamic linking. It all can be defined in Blend. With static linking of fonts only needed characters are compiled and embedded in your assembly. With dynamic linking all font set is embedded. So try to set static linking for selected fonts and try if it works.

UPD

Try to add the following code into you .csproj file. Here we including Tahoma fonts. AutoFill property set to true says that we will embed in assembly only used characters of our controls. The set of chars in tag fill point to include these chars into assembly. All other tags set to false, because we don't need them.
