Net4x.MetroFramework.Fonts

Bundled fonts for Net4x.MetroFramework.Library, so a Metro application looks the same on machines that do not have Segoe UI.

Install

dotnet add package Net4x.MetroFramework.Fonts

That is the whole setup. There is no API to call and no configuration: the main package looks for this assembly at startup and, if it is present, routes every font request through it.

What it does

MetroFramework renders its text in Segoe UI, which ships with Windows but is not guaranteed to be there — a stripped-down image, a locked-down desktop or a Windows Server install may not have it. Without a substitute, GDI+ silently falls back to a default face and the layout shifts.

This package embeds three Open Sans faces and maps them onto the ones the framework asks for:

Requested Substituted with
Segoe UI Open Sans
Segoe UI, bold Open Sans Bold
Segoe UI Light Open Sans Light

The substitution only happens when the requested family is genuinely unavailable. On a machine that has Segoe UI, the real font is used and this package changes nothing. Fonts the framework does not ask for are never touched.

The faces are loaded from embedded resources into a private font collection, so nothing is installed on the machine and no elevation is needed.

Target frameworks

net45, net6.0-windows, net8.0-windows, net10.0-windows. Windows only.

Notes

Strong-named with the same key as the main package. The main package resolves this assembly by fully qualified strong name, so its assembly version and public key token have to match what MetroFramework.dll was built against — always take both packages from the same release.

Licence

The package is MIT, copyright (c) 2011 Sven Walter. The bundled Open Sans font is by Steve Matteson and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0; the licence text ships in the repository next to the font files.
