@Eilon
Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is it connected to fonts?
If yes how I install the fonts ?

@danies8 we moved this from the .NET MAUI repo to this repo because we believe this is more to do with the various WinUI related APIs. Unfortunately I'm not aware of what the solution is.

I believe this is related to unpackaged apps. I have a repo here with DLSS Swapper. In case I commit to the repo after this post, the last commit I am referring to is 81703296c6a3f48bab7991a440ed79f37738ef14. This app is not MAUI but it is WinUI3.

DLSS Swapper has 4 build configs:

• Debug
• Debug_WindowsStore
• Release
• Release_WindowsStore

I have set it up so if you use *_WindowsStore it will load a packaged app, otherwise it loads as an unpackaged app (see xcopy in csproj for how I am doing that).

Debug build looks like: (note the controller icon on the left and refresh icon in the top right)

Debug_WindowsStore build looks like this:

I think that is why this issue is an unpackaged vs packaged.

It surely connected to unpackaged.

I was able to get around this in the above issue by setting Copy to Output Directory to Copy if newer. I still have Build Action set to Content but it may be ok to move it to None. This was also only tested in debug mode, unsure if release is going to bite me in the bum.

Hope this helps.

@Eilon

The fonts are not seen when publishing it as exe on window 10/11 + server 2019/2022.

[danies8]
