Detect when a font asset is added to a Xamarin.Forms project and offer to make it an embedded font asset. #248

Closed matthewrdev closed 4 years ago

matthewrdev commented 4 years ago

MFractor should detect when a font asset (otf or ttf) is added to a Xamarin.FOrms core project and, if the project uses XF 4.6 or higher, it should trigger a toolbar suggestion to offer to add it as an embedded font.

Upon confirmation the feature should:

Set the build action to EmbeddedResource.
Add the ExportFont assembly attribute.
[Optional] Generate a code behind file containing all glyphs.

Required infrastructure:

IExportFontAttributeGenerator -> Generates an [assembly: Xamarin.Forms.ExportFont("$file_name$")] attribute.
Workflow assistant to watch for new font assets added to a project.

Closing this as #249 will solve the problem just as well and not generate conflicts with the font importer.
