Use embedded font in Windows Store App

Question

I would like to use Anonymous Pro font in a Windows RT application. I was trying to follow the steps from this thread, but without any success.

This is my try:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontSize="56"
           FontFamily="/Assets/Fonts/Anonymous Pro.ttf"
           />

Instead of Anonymous Pro the default font is used. Actually, it the sample (see the link) the font family is specified, but I'm not sure: should I do it or should not. If I should, which family should be there?

So how to embed custom font in Windows RT application and use it from there?

Although I've done this, the PC is not recognising the embedded font until i manually install it on the PC. – Johann Aug 13 '13 at 14:13
Edit: I think I fixed that issue. Include them as "content" was the key. – Johann Aug 13 '13 at 15:02
Not working for me unless initial "/" is there! (at the beginning of the path to the font file) – M. Jahedbozorgan May 08 '14 at 18:37
