Examples

This example shows how to set the FontWeight property on a XAML TextBlock.

<TextBlock Text="FontWeight ExtraBlack" FontWeight="ExtraBlack"/>

TextBlock textBlock1 = new TextBlock();
textBlock1.Text = "FontWeight ExtraBlack";
textBlock1.FontWeight = FontWeights.ExtraBlack;

Remarks

In standard typography API, the weight of a font is expressed by using constant names, for example "Bold". Using constant names for setting a font weight property is supported through type converter behaviors and also by the FontWeights support class. For code access, the relevant information is expressed as the Weight factor of a FontWeight value.

This image shows the various font weight values applied to text.
