How do I use Roboto Thin embedded in XAML?

I'm working on a C# WPF project that has the Roboto and Roboto Thin fonts embedded. They font files are in /Resources/Fonts and their build actions are set to 'Resource'. In my App.xaml, I declare the resources:

<FontFamily x:Key="Roboto">/Resources/Fonts/#Roboto</FontFamily>
<FontFamily x:Key="RobotoThin">/Resources/Fonts/#Roboto Thin</FontFamily>

The Roboto font works properly (as do some other embedded fonts), but Roboto Thin doesn't work. I've tried '.../Roboto-Thin.ttf', 'Roboto-Thin', 'Roboto_Thin' and the FontWeight property on the label/textblock but nothing works. When I try to use Roboto Thin on a UIElement, it doesn't seem to recognize it and it falls back to the default font (probably Segoe UI).

What am I doing wrong?

I just tried Roboto Light, but that doesn't work either. It would seem that only the regular fonts work but variations don't.

Not sure if its what you're looking for, but what works for me is the following:

    <FontFamily x:Key="robotoRegularFont">/resources/Roboto-Regular.ttf#Roboto</FontFamily>
    <FontFamily x:Key="robotoThinFont">/resources/Roboto-Thin.ttf#Roboto Thin</FontFamily>
