Custom fonts not working
See original GitHub issueHey, I’m having trouble getting custom fonts to work on Avalonia. I have a <TextBlock FontFamily="/Assets/dos.ttf#PerfectDOSVGA437">test</TextBlock> control in the XAML, the text is displayed in the fallback font instead of the specified one. System fonts work as expected though
This is the font I’m using, but I’ve tried others with no success
I’m thinking it could be a Linux issue since someone else tried the same thing on Windows and the text displayed correctly there
Anyone knows what could be causing this?

@Gillibald just for your information. It would be more friendly to have a list of available fonts in the exception message:
... Avalonia.Skia.dll: 'Could not create glyph typeface for: My Font. Available fonts: Font One, Font Two ...I’ve returned all my fonts to EmbededResourses and to
<FontFamily x:Key="MyFont">resm:My.Lib.Assets.Fonts.MyFont-Medium.ttf?assembly=My.Lib#Fira Code"</FontFamily>And added debug output for my resources:foreach (var res in assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()) Debug.WriteLine("found resource: " + res);the output is:found resource: My.Lib.Assets.Fonts.MyFont-Medium.ttf found resource: !AvaloniaResourcesIt works almost but on showing a ToolTip. On Windows it just doesn’t show a tooltip on Mac it crushes with the Exception:... Avalonia.Skia.dll: 'Could not create glyph typeface for: My Font.' at Avalonia.Skia.FontManagerImpl.CreateGlyphTypeface(Typeface typeface) in /_/src/Skia/Avalonia.Skia/FontManagerImpl.cs:line 139 ...
