Custom typeface in Avalonia.Svg

[tkefauver]

I'm trying to use a custom typeface in Avalonia.Svg but its not working.

I'm loading the font like this:
var font_stream = AssetLoader.Open(new Uri("avares://AvaloniaSvgSkiaSample/Assets/Fonts/Garamond/EBGaramond-VariableFont_wght.ttf")); var result = SKFontManager.Default.CreateTypeface(font_stream);

Which works (it creates the SKTypeFace at least) but is not the approach described in the Wiki article because SvgTextExtensions doesn't seem to exist anymore so that might be part of my problem.

Then I'm using the sample app AvaloniaSvgSkiaSample and just adding a text element below the circle (in the string tab) like this:
<text x="40" y="40" font-family="EB Garamond">yoo</text>

But the family name isn't being recognized by SkiaAssetLoader.FindTypefaces. Its the right family name (I verified it from result of the CreateTypeFace call).

How do I add the SKTypeFace I created to be recognized?

Avalonia.Svg is not using skia at all you need to provide Avalonia typeface type loader. Sorry no example available.

Hmm ok thanks. I just decided to use a default fixed width font which pretty much fixes my issue (drawing centered text).
