Hello,

In MAUI, there is an official documentation about how to set a FontFamily in your controls, please refer to Fonts in .NET MAUI.

In my side, I've tested to set a FontFamily to Editor and Entry controls, and it works fine.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.

Hi YonglunLiu

The font that I want to set is Courier New (monospace font)
I tried as below but that not run.

Thank you very much for any help

namespace RazKmoShed;

public static class MauiProgram
{
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder
.UseMauiApp<App>()
.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
{
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
fonts.AddFont("Courier New.ttf", "NCourier");
});

return builder.Build(); }

}

<Editor x:Name="InputTB" BackgroundColor="LightSkyBlue" TextChanged="InputTB_TextChanged" Placeholder="Enter alphametic puzzle here" PlaceholderColor="Blue" FontFamily="NCourier" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Start" HeightRequest="300" WidthRequest="320" />

If you want to use Courier New.ttf in your MAUI app, you need to add the font file into the YourProjectName/Resources/Fonts folder.

In my side, I downloaded the Cour.ttf and put it in this folder, then I used fonts.AddFont("Cour.ttf", "NCourier"); and your Editor code for testing. It worked fine.
