Use a StaticResource font for Incoming/Outcoming messages

[Fodil]

Hello,

Im using SfChat for my chat app, and i have a font set  up in my App.xaml, and i want to use it as my Incoming/Outcoming  messages font.

Here is my code:

<ContentPage.Resources>
        <syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary>
            <syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary>
                    <x:String x:Key="SfChatTheme">CustomTheme</x:String>
                    <x:String x:Key="SfChatIncomingMessageAuthorFontFamily">MontserratRegular</x:String>
                </ResourceDictionary>
            </syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary>
    </ContentPage.Resources>

How do i use {StaticResource MonserratRegular} instead of just passing a font-name ?
