Custom FontFace not working

Bug description:
The technique we use to choose a custom font in MSFS2020 does not work for us in MSFS2024.

We have a file PMDG_Bendix.ttf in our package source; it correctly copies to the package at build time, just as it was done in 2020. However we are not able to reference the font as we did before:

That worked fine in 2020, but in 2024 it is as if the font is not being found, so a default Arial font is rendered instead:

Can you please tell us if the custom font technique in 2024 has changed, or how we can address this issue?
