Where Are We?

WPF supports any mixture of typefaces and formatting styles anywhere text is used. If you need fine control, you can work at a very low level with glyphs, using either GlyphRun at the visual layer, or Glyphs at the FrameworkElement level. It is typically easier to work at a higher level. TextBlock provides a simple but powerful way to incorporate small volumes of formatted text into an application, and it is the workhorse of basic text presentation for most WPF applications. But if you need to represent a multiparagraph document, FlowDocument is the way to go, as it supports the full WPF text object model. The document viewer controls offer either a simple single-column scrolling view, or a column-based paginating viewer. Whichever representation you use, WPF provides access to all the typographical features of your fonts.
