Description
When using a font icon it's most helpful to have a static class or other method to access the glyphs by name rather than with the unicode.
I often use https://andreinitescu.github.io/IconFont2Code/ to generate the class so I can do things like
What I would prefer is to be able to do is:
Resources/fonts
folderIf we could avoid the xmlns that'd be ideal.
Better yet, can we add a markup extension that further simplifies this? Can we derive
FontFamily
from the autogenerated class and provide that to the view?If we do plan something here, we should propose related XAML changes https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml
For C# UI having the static class alone makes this easier.
