about the "font name" thing,actually this is not quite right for those non-english fonts in non-english os.

for example, in non-english os, those non-english fonts,like 'Simsun' will show as '宋体'(Chinese Name), not 'Simsun'.But in blend, when you explictly embed the font to your app, blend will referrence fonts as '宋体' not 'Simsun'，which will result in 'font missing' problem.

Okay, very nice, but not good enough for my application.

How about being able to list the fonts on the client's machine and chosing one of them dynamically?

In other words, Peter load's my Silverlight application over the Web and I let him chose the font on his machine, not an embedded one.

I noticed that when including two fonts in a project, it can increase the size of the .xap if each font is sized 100kb. Is it possible to load a font as an external resource so the font is not compiled in the .xap? (in the same manner as you'd load an large jpeg/png from an external website)

Actually the supported method is using 'Resource' as the build action. See: silverlight.net/.../learnvideo.aspx for a walk through.
