RadFontDropDownList: Expose API to programmatically load fonts
The new feature will allow custom fonts to be loaded in the control. We can already load custom fonts using the ThemeResolutionService class. We could use the custom in-memory font loaded by the ThemeResolutionService and add it to the FontDropDownList.

Hello,

Item will be released in 2019 R2 SP1 and LIB 2019.2.603 scheduled for 3rd of June.

The new feature will allow custom fonts to be loaded in the control. We can already load custom fonts using the ThemeResolutionService class. We could use the custom in-memory font loaded by the ThemeResolutionService and add it to the FontDropDownList.

A custom font can be loaded this way:
using (Stream stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()).GetManifestResourceStream("_408823_RadRichTextEditorCustomFonts.HelveticaLt.ttf"))
{
   ThemeResolutionService.LoadFont(stream);
}
 
FontFamily ff = ThemeResolutionService.GetCustomFont("Helvetica-Light");
this.radFontDropDownList1.AddFont(ff);
...
this.radFontDropDownList1.RemoveFont(ff);

The above methods have overloads accepting the font family name as string.

Regards,
Dimitar
