Using FontFamily on SfComboBox results in Font not found

Adding a sfComboBox to any project where custom fonts are successfully set up and working, results in an error message and crash when applying any of the FontFamily properties. Applying the same font family name to say a SfButton works.

Error:

Unhandled Exception:

Java.Lang.RuntimeException: Font asset not found GeosansLight.ttf#GeosansLight


App.XAML, inside resource dictionary:

   <OnPlatform x:Key="GeosansLight"  x:TypeArguments="x:String" Android="GeosansLight.ttf#GeosansLight" iOS="GeosansLight">
   </OnPlatform>

Property of SfComboBox:

     FontFamily="{StaticResource GeosansLight}"

Hi Nick, 
  
Greetings from Syncfusion.

We have analyzed the reported issue. In our current implementation we don’t set the font name directly(fontname.ttf#fontname) for ComboBox in android. If you set the font name like fontname.ttf#fontname for the ComboBox means it gets font name not found exception. We have already logged a feature report for this requirement to set the font name as like in the Xamarin forms. It will be available in any of our upcoming release We suggest you to set font family as fontname.ttf  to resolve this issue

Regards,
Vanaja R.A.
