As an app developer, it's impossible not to have the task to display an icon in the app. One of the common ways to display icons , instead of using images or SVGs , is by using font files (.ttf, .otf or .woff). Although font files are usually used to display text with a specific font, but they can also be used to display icons . Instead of containing glyphs with letters , they contain glyphs with icons : There are different types of font technologies but the most common ones today are the TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf) or the WOFF (.woff) font files.

The issue is not just about declaration of prefixes. Having separate prefixes bloats the XAML a lot because you have to use a separate prefix for every object you reference from the corresponding namespace. In my example there are 4 prefixes to deal with! As a solution to get rid of all the namespaces, a dark thought might have crossed your mind: remove all the CLR namespaces in the library’s code and just have one namespace! But you love your C# namespaces, they give class scope and separation, it’s...
