I’d like to ask a question about Windows Phone 7. I’m really interested in what font is used for the app names on the tiles:
I know that the font for WP7 is Segoe WP, but I’ve checked Segoe WP Light/Semilight/Semibold/Bold/Black plus Segoe UI and Zegoe but no match. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks in advance!
I originally thought it was just standard Segoe WP (since the font looked the same as when I generate standard text for the tiles using the default PhoneTextNormalStyle, which uses normal Segoe WP), but upon closer inspection it’s actually Segoe WP Semibold. I did a few mockups in Paint.NET and you can tell – the thing that threw me off is that the calendar tile’s text content also uses Segoe WP Semibold.
I had a trawl through the design guidelines and it doesn’t mention which font is used for the Live Tile titles, but I’d trust the Silverlight Toolkit as mentioned.
