TextBox FontFamily FallBack

[GihanSoft]

Setting Font Family FallBack in WPF is like this (link)

<TextBlock FontFamily="Comic Sans MS, Verdana">Hello, world</TextBlock>

this not work in AvaloniaUI, instead this works:

<TextBlock FontFamily="'Comic Sans MS', 'Verdana'">Hello, world</TextBlock>

I tried in multi language fonts (Lucida Console & B Yekan)

this not work in AvaloniaUI, instead this works:

<TextBlock FontFamily="'Comic Sans MS', 'Verdana'">Hello, world</TextBlock>

This is not working either

How are you testing the fallback?

TextBox does not support any font fallback. This will change later this year.

[GihanSoft]

I think if you set fallback for each char it will word

I found out there is a thing named bidi or bidirectional engine you should proceed text before sending it to harfbuzz. For complex texts. You probably know this already.

@Gillibald Any estimate of when this will be done?

[Gillibald]

Somewhere in April. I don't have any free time at the moment. The current state is testable but still needs some major reworks.

Fixed in #4893.
