Remarks

The sharedFonts element defined in uap7:Extension is a descendent of Package and is associated with the package identity, regardless of how many apps the package contains. This includes packages that contain no applications at all.

The sharedFonts element defined in uap4:Extension provides similar functionality, but is a descendent of Application and is associated to a specific application's identity.

For both versions of this extension, the fonts are installed per-user.
