I'm finding issues with this as well. My #else condition is MS Windows (below). What I have below has font working for a computer that has Visual Studio Enterprise we are compiling on and Android, but not for our Visual Studio Professional system building where only fonts work for Android Systems. Our IDEs have all been updated to the latest version as of 6/13. I just started looking into this yesterday, so I have no idea if the IDEs are why it's working/not working. Just adding a datapoint in case it helps narrow things down.

MaterialDesignIcons.FontFamily = "MaterialDesignIcons"

public const string Airplane = "\U000f001d";

#if ANDROID fonts.AddFont(filename: "materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf", alias: MaterialDesignIcons.FontFamily); #else fonts.AddFont(filename: "materialdesignicons-webfont-Regular.ttf", alias: MaterialDesignIcons.FontFamily); #endif

        <Button Opacity="1.0" FontSize="22" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" FontFamily="MaterialDesignIcons"
            BackgroundColor="#332C3240" TextColor="Yellow"
            Text="{x:Static helpers:MaterialDesignIcons.Airport}"> 
        </Button>
