Loading fonts from files

[HaanstootZA]

Hi

I am busy converting some winforms to Eto, but some of my code uses a font file.
Are there any plans to allow Eto to load from font files?

var fontCollection = new PrivateFontCollection() var heighInPixels = 12; fontCollection.AddFontFile(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "glyphfont.ttf")); return new Font(fontCollection.Families[0], heightInPixels, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

Hey @HaanstootZA,

Thanks for the idea! This might be possible but is complicated to make work across all of the platforms in an easy way. I have had other requests for this and will probably be getting around to it in the near future.

Hey @cwensley, thank you for getting back to me so quickly, this was my first time starting a discussion or requesting a feature on an open source project, and seeing that you not only responded but also accepted the suggestion left me feeling elated.

See #2120 for details of the issue tracking this feature.

FYI, this is now complete and should land in 2.6.2! Thanks again for the feedback everyone.
