Fonts from an IDWriteRemoteFontFileLoader do not display correctly in character preview #272

Fonts that have been loaded from an IDWriteRemoteFontFileLoader display correctly in Character Map view (and most views that use XAML controls), but in the last update we changed the preview pane to use native DirectWrite rendering using IDWriteTextFormat/IDWriteTextLayout.

As of our current implementation these don't seem to support fonts from an IDWriteRemoteFontFileLoader so the preview pane fallbacks to the system default font. This also effects SVG & PNG since forever, but only noticeable now.
