More info - using FontAwesome.WPF. Displaying in a regular grid works ok.

I tried this, but the column is empty at run-time

                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
                        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <fa:FontAwesome Icon="Train" FontSize="48" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Hello Marko,

Please, check the following post where the same topic is discussed - Custom Fonts in WPF applications.

In the approach you have provided you are setting only the CellEditTemplate, which is applied when the cell is in edit mode. You can try setting the GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate instead. Furthermore, it seems like you are trying to directly set a font in a DataTemplate. Instead, you need to apply the font to a certain element like TextBlock, as shown in the provided article.
