Change default IconFont.ttf

[Luis Gomez]

Hi

I´m trying to show an iconFont (/ue700) inside IconosCrearLista.ttf, located in Assets folder, but i´m not able to achieve it...

I´m using the following code:

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout

                    Hint="Nombre"

                    HelperText="Nombre de la lista"

                    ContainerType="Outlined"

                    OutlineCornerRadius="8"

                    InputViewPadding="5"

                    >

                    <Entry />

                    <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView>

                        <Label

                            FontFamily="/Assets/IconosCrearLista.ttf"

                            Text="&#xe700;">

                        </Label>

                    </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView>

</inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

What am i doing wrong?

Any missing steps?

What are the correct steps to show my icons?

and if i don´t use FontFamily="/Assets/IconosCrearLista.ttf", and use &#x1F5D3; it shows me a calendar icon....where is that ttf iconfont located?

Thanks in advance

Hi Luis Gomez, 

  

Greetings from the Syncfusion. 

  

We have checked the provided code snippet and worked at our end by displaying the custom icon using UIFontIcons.ttf as per in below code snippet  

  

 Code Snippet: 

  

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout 

                    Hint="Nombre" 

                    HelperText="Nombre de la lista" 

                    ContainerType="Outlined" 

                    OutlineCornerRadius="8" 

                    InputViewPadding="5" 

                    > 

            <Entry /> 

            <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView> 

                <Label FontFamily="/Assets/UIFontIcons.ttf#UIFontIcons" 

                            Text="&#xe742;"> 

                </Label> 

            </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView> 

        </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

What am i doing wrong?  

  

We suspected that may be build property of that provided ttf file is not properly mentioned based on the platform specific. For that please refer the below link
