Implicit Styles Custom Font and Font Size

[Brian]

Hi,

We are rebuilding our application and using implicit styling with the Windows 8 theme. We have a custom font we'd like to use and wish to increase the font size of all controls (Telerik and the default .NET controls). I know we can use the following in code-behind to accomplish this:

Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeXS += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeS += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSize += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeL += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeXL += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeXXL += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontSizeXXXL += 6;            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8Palette.Palette.FontFamily = new FontFamily("CustomFontName");

 

But this obviously does not apply the font and font size during design-time, which makes it hard to design the UI because the size increases when the application is ran. Is there a way we can set the font and font size in XAML, like in a ResourceDictionary, so that the controls will accept the changes during design-time?

 Thanks for the help,

Brian Moore
