One of the FontStretches property values, specifying the desired font stretch. The default is FontStretches.Normal.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: FontStretchProperty

This property can select only from fonts that exist in a font family. It does not cause programmatic stretching of glyphs. A font stretch describes the degree to which a font form is stretched from its normal aspect ratio, which is the original width-to-height ratio specified for the glyphs in the font.

For the set of preconfigured font stretches, see FontStretches.
