One important thing here is, for some weight of font, e.g. Light/Bold etc, we don't use the full font name followed # symbol

For example, if we need to set Roboto Light as Font, use Roboto instead.

/Assets/Fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf#Roboto

XAML:

<TextBlock FontFamily="/Assets/Fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf#Roboto" Text="This is a test: Roboto Light FontSize: 10" FontSize="10" />
