For further investigation, could you please provide the following information?

Are there any other static resource files missing?

Does this issue only occur when published as an executable?

Could you please provide specific steps that can reproduce this issue?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

1.Are there any other static resource files missing - no

Does this issue only occur when published as an executable?Yes

Also see this issue :https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/9104

That should be solved in net 8!!!

Thanks for your feedback.

I've noticed that a developer has come up with a workaround for this issue.

#if WINDOWS
Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.LabelHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("FontFamily", (handler, element) =>
{
    if (element.Font.Family == "FontAwesome")
    {
        const string FontAwesomeFamily = "ms-appx:///Fontawesome6brands.otf#Font Awesome 6 Brands";
        handler.PlatformView.FontFamily = new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.FontFamily(FontAwesomeFamily);
    }
});
#endif

Does this workaround work as expected?

I'm using telerik controls i used coreect ? how i used two fonts(e.g. telerikcontrolsicons and telerikfontexamples)

All the font files I need to use here => https://github.com/telerik/maui-samples/tree/main/Samples/ControlsSamples/Resources/Fonts. (e.g. telerikcontrolsicons and telerikfontexamples).

#if WINDOWS
Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.LabelHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("FontFamily", (handler, element) =>
{
    if (element.Font.Family == "telerikcontrolsicons")
    {
        const string FontTelerikControlsIconsFamily = "ms-appx:///Fontawesome6brands.otf#Font Awesome 6 Brands";
        handler.PlatformView.FontFamily = new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.FontFamily(FontTelerikControlsIconsFamily);
    }
});
#endif
