Actually, paul, I suspect that Facename isn't working either, you just
don't get an XSD validation error because there's no rules for the format
of the face name.
I bet if you hardcoded the size and bold attributes and compiled your MSI
you'd have the !(...) stuff in your facename in the output MSI. You just
wouldn't get a validation error, because there's no way for MSI to know
that the facename you supplied isn't a valid font name -- after all, who
wouldn't want to call their font "!(loc.BannerTextStyle_Facename)"?

RE: [WiX-users] Font definition and WXL
I actually rewrote the code for the last test. If you look at the
original example the names match.
However, after trying a few more things, it looks like the FaceName
attribute takes the localized string just fine. It’s the Size and Bold
attributes that are not preprocessing the localized string. Look at the
original errors below.

Not a bad suggestionJ
Paul would you mind to have a look at this, in case the linker is case
sensitive.
Thank you.

Ok... It also appears that your error message says 'Facename' (lowercase
'N'), but your declaration shows an uppercase. Not sure if it matters,
just thought I'd mention it since I noticed it.

Re: [WiX-users] Font definition and WXL
Here is the answer from Paul, so it look like syntaxically speaking we
were doing the right thing.
So I think we need to focus more on the methodology. Thank you anyway for
your reply.
No luck. Using the ! instead of the $ is right. $ is deprecated.

Don't you want $(loc.BannerTextStyle_Size) not
!(loc.BannerTextStyle_Size)?

[WiX-users] Font definition and WXL
Hello,
We have moved our resource to a wxl file to facilitate the localization of
our component.
In the localization world it is a good practice to make sure that the font
size and the font facename can be localized.
I was hoping that I could move the font style attribute in the WXL as well
so that the localization team could change it accordingly, since the font
size and the font facename are different for the Japanese, or any far-east
languages.
Unfortunately as you can see down below replacing the font attribute with
the WXL loc ID causes the compiler to break, because the preprocessor
might run some validation because linked the loc data in the code.
Would you have a different approach we could use so that at least we have
a work-around.
Thank you very much.
E.
<wixloc:String Id="BannerTextStyle_FaceName">MS Sans Serif</wixloc:String>
<wixloc:String Id="BannerTextStyle_Size">12</wixloc:String>
<wixloc:String Id="BannerTextStyle_Bold">yes</wixloc:String>
Then within my <UI> tag I have:
<TextStyle Id="BannerTextStyle"
FaceName="!(loc.BannerTextStyle_FaceName)"
Size="!(loc.BannerTextStyle_Size)" Red="0" Green="0" Blue="0"
Bold="!(loc.BannerTextStyle_Bold)"/>
The error I get indicates that the !(loc.name) syntax does not work within
the attributes for TextStyle. The loc variables are not getting processed
into the defined values. This is the error I get:
