Custom fonts not working with SfAvatarView in iOS

Hi Synfusion team,


I am using SfAvatarView, in CollectionView, and adding Fontawesome ​in avatarview with ContentType set to custom.

The same code is working fine in android. But in iOS it shows '?' in that.


I have tried the same font with normal Label and it is working in fine in iOS.

Tried SfAvatarView without CollectionView and it is still not working,


See the screenshot below.


Sample Code:


<avatarview:SfAvatarView
                Grid.Row="2"
                AvatarName="{x:Static fontawesome:FontAwesomeIcons.CommentAlt}"
                BorderWidth="0"
                ContentType="Initials"
                FontFamily="FontAwesomeProRegular"
                FontSize="Large" />


Thanks,

Milan

Also adding one point, Initials are also not centered in view in iOS.

Hi Milan,

Query: “Custom fonts not working with SfAvatarView in iOS” and “Initials are also not centered in view in iOS”

We have analyzed the reported issues and we were able to reproduce the same. We have fixed the reported issue. Please have the custom assembly from the below link.

Custom Assembly: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/AvatorAssembly918982722

Assembly Version: 19.4.0.54

Note: Please refer the below link to apply the custom assembly 
https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/8279/how-to-apply-the-custom-assemblies-when-configured-the-project-with-syncfusion-nuget

Currently, we have patch support only for the main and service pack release version, not for the weekly NuGet release. So only provided an assembly with 19.4.0.54 version.

This fix will be included in our upcoming weekly release which is expected to roll out on March 15, 2022. Could you please check this fix with your application and let us know, whether the issue is resolved or not.

Regards,
Suganya Sethuraman.
