The DLL library that contains Font Picker is called ColorFont and it is composed by two XAML User Controls: It is easy to understand why: the typical scenario is that the user selects font, then she is not satisfied and clicks again to display the dialog: she does not want a 'default' font again, she wants to modify the font she selected in the first attempt.

I decided to build a 'WPF User Control' in the form of two different reusable controls (the Color Picker and the Font Picker) and a Window Dialog in the fashion of Windows Forms Task Dialogs. I needed in first place a pluggable WPF library, so that I can easily add it to any of my projects.

My WPF Font Picker is based on the remix of two different works: a Font Chooser in XAML and a Color Combobox control. The first one is the Pure XAML Font Chooser by Cheng Norris.
