Is it possible to provide an embedded default font in the assembly

There are multiple ways to achieve this:

1. Set FontFamily on your window. Controls will inherit this unless they have FontFamily explicitly set.
2. Write a custom font manager and register it before startup https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/master/tests/Avalonia.Skia.UnitTests/Media/CustomFontManagerImpl.cs

You need to reupload the image or just copy/paste the output here

The method I use in the connection is var typefaceCollection = SKTypefaceCollectionCache.GetOrAddTypefaceCollection(msjhTypeFace.FontFamily); The result is empty, is there a problem?

I think, for users who using the lib, set FontFamily should have been easy. like FontFamily = "xxx";.
It's bad to let users do a lot of complicated things just for a simple result.

sorry!

What is simple about text processing?

Which is better for users to write one line of code or more than 200 lines of code?
This is why the code should be encapsulated.

@go-nil if you have a really good idea how that can work in a x-plat solution like Avalonia, I think a PR is welcome. But keep in mind, we have to consider many different OS and also many different use-cases. I agree we will need more documentation on this topic.

So apparently we aren't supposed to register custom font managers, what now?

Setting FontFamily on the MainWindow works fine for most controls, but it doesn't work for tooltips of button.
Is this intentional or just a bug? How to make it work?
