Dependency property identifier field: FontRenderingEmSizeProperty

An em is a typographical unit of measurement. In Silverlight, an em is equal to the current font size.

Note:
The default value for FontRenderingEmSize is 0. Therefore, in order to render anything with Glyphs, you should specify a FontRenderingEmSize either in XAML or code. This is in contrast to TextBlock, whose default font size is 11 pixels.

Supported in: 5, 4, 3
