how to know local font names in silverlight

in silverlight 4 I need to know all the font names in my machines. Using....

...

 var typefaces = System.Windows.Media.Fonts.SystemTypefaces;

        foreach (System.Windows.Media.Typeface face in typefaces)
        {

            System.Windows.Media.GlyphTypeface a;
            face.TryGetGlyphTypeface(out a);
            FontSource fs = new FontSource(a);

           var b = a.FontFileName;

...

I only can get FontFileName but actually we'd need the fontname for showing it....

开发者_开发问答How can get such info?

thanks you all!

Generate a lookup table for Silverlight:

WPF has the properties to do this, but Silverlight does not.

If you look at the System.Windows.Media.Typeface objects in the debugger the fonts do not contain anything except 2 version numbers and the FontUri (read filename).

You could generate a lookup dictionary by running code under WPF to extract all the filenames and matching fontnames, but you need to do that on a machine with every font installed that you want to cover.

The WPF code below extracts such a table (this one contains the font names in all languages, so you will probably want to add a filter to it e.g. by "en-us"):

    foreach (var font in System.Windows.Media.Fonts.SystemTypefaces)
    {
        System.Windows.Media.GlyphTypeface glyphTypeface;
        font.TryGetGlyphTypeface(out glyphTypeface);
        var dictionary = font.FaceNames;
        foreach (var language in dictionary.Keys)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("\"{0}\", \"{1}\", \"{2}\"", glyphTypeface.FontUri.Segments[glyphTypeface.FontUri.Segments.Count()-1], language, dictionary[language]));
        }
    }

Part of the output is shown below and could be easily formatted into a table or loaded as a dictionary in Silverlight:

I ended up using Fonts.SystemFontFamilies on the SERVER (in the PresentationCore dll), sending the result (from the Source property) via a service call to the Silverlight app. Not perfect, but the best I could find.

I also tried to use System.Windows.Media.Fonts.SystemTypefaces but as you mentioned it only gives the font file name. After doing a lot of reading and research on the web, I decided to use P/Invoke to solve this. If you have the choice of running your application as OOB (Out of Browser) with elevated trust as I had, the following P/Invoke solution will work great. Thanks to www.pinvoke.net for all of the method/structure definitions.

Using the class is very simple. Below is a sample XAML markup

<UserControl x:Class="SLTest.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding InstalledFontNames}" Height="50"/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

In the code behind of the XAML page, add the following

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
{
    public MainPage()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      DataContext = Utils.FontsCollection.Default;
    }
}
