Public Property FontFamily As FontFamily

<FontIconSource FontFamily="fontFamilyValue"/>

Property Value

FontFamily

The font used to display the icon glyph. The default is the font family defined by the SymbolThemeFontFamily theme resource (see Remarks).

Examples

<FontIcon FontFamily="Segoe UI Emoji" Glyph="&#x25B6;"/>

Remarks

If you don't specify a FontFamily, or you specify a FontFamily that is not available on the system at runtime, the FontIcon falls back to the default font family defined by the SymbolThemeFontFamily theme resource.

By default, Windows uses the Segoe Fluent Icon font family. If your app is run on Windows 10, version 20H2 or earlier, the Segoe Fluent Icon font family is not available and the SymbolThemeFontFamily resource falls back to the Segoe MDL2 Asset font family instead.

To use glyphs from the default system font, don't set the FontFamily property, let it use its default value instead.
