Visual Studio Designer does not display an embedded font

I use some custom fonts in my C # WPF.NET 4.0 application (Open Sans and FontAwesome in particular) with Visual Studio 2013.

I have:

  • Added FontAwesome.otf and OpenSans-Regular.ttf to my project (not as a link) under / Fonts.
  • Make sure that both fonts are set to Resource.
  • Both fonts are installed locally (Windows 8.1).
  • New styles have been created in my resource dictionary (which contains many other parts, so I'm sure it works).
  • Restart VS2013.

Here is a snippet of the style that I created in my resource dictionary:

<Style x:Key="OpenSans">
    <Setter Property="TextElement.FontFamily" Value="pack://application:,,,/Fonts/#Open Sans" />
</Style>

<Style x:Key="FontAwesome">
    <Setter Property="TextElement.FontFamily" Value="pack://application:,,,/Fonts/#FontAwesome" />
</Style>

Now, in the new user control that I created to check the constructor, and these fonts were included correctly, I wrote the following XAML:

    <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource FontAwesome}" FontSize="64" Text="&#xf085;" />
    <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource OpenSans}" FontSize="48" Text="the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." />
    <TextBlock FontFamily="Open Sans" FontSize="48" Text="the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." />
