Summary0004990: Project Fonts Don't Appear In Alphabetical List, and Predictive Search Unable to Distinguish Between Project And System Font
Description

Currently, when adding a non-system font to a Project's directory, the font appears in the Font Listing as '#FontName'.

However, it does not appear in the font listing by its non-hash name.

This led me to scroll through the list to find the font by name, but it did not appear in the expected position in the listing.

This is especially confusing because if using the predictive text search, the font will appear as 'FontName' and not '#FontName'.


Repro Steps:

1) Create a Studio Project featuring a MainPage.xaml, and introduce a TextBlock into the root Grid.

2) Download the attached Font File (Baltar.ttf), and with the Project in Studio still open, place the TTF file into the Project's root Directory.

3) Select the TextBlock introduced in Step 1), and scroll down to 'B' to find 'Baltar'.

Observe how the Font is not findable under 'B' for 'Baltar'.

4) Scroll to the top of the Font listing.
Observe how Baltar is present as #Baltar at the top of the list.

5) Copy-paste the Baltar Font from the Project Directory to C:\Windows\Fonts, then return to the Project in Studio.

6) Select the TextBlock again, and scroll through the Font Family Font listing again.
Observe how at the top of the list, can be found a '#Baltar' for the Project Directory font, and lower in the list, a 'Baltar' font for the system-installed font.
Observe how this distinction is actually quite important.

6) With the TextBlock selected, In the FontFamily Property Value selector, type "Balt'.
Observe how in the predictive text helper, Baltar is displayed twice, both with the same 'Baltar' syntax even though one is 'Baltar' and one is '#Baltar'

Expected Results (In a predictive search):
Project Directory fonts are displayed as '#FontName', and System Fonts as 'FontName'.

Expected Results (Scrolling through font listing in Font Family Property):
a) At the top, the Project Directory Font continues to display as it does not as '#FontName'.
b) In the Alphabetical listing, system Fonts continue to display as expected under 'F' for 'FontName'
c) In the Alphabetical listing, Project Directory Fonts display under 'F' for '#FontName'. In this scenario, '#FontName' should display immediately before 'FontName'
