A font family is a set of typefaces that share the same family name, such as "Times New Roman", but that differ in features. These font family feature differences typically include font style, such as italic, and font weight, such as bold. For a full list of supported fonts in Windows Phone, see Font and language configuration support for Windows Phone 8.
To ensure consistency, you typically specify the font family using a theme resource. By default, the font family for a new page in a Windows Phone application is set to the following:
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"
For a list of the theme resource font families, see Theme resources for Windows Phone.
