Saran,

Unfortunately, this is not as straightforward as it probably should be, but it can be done by creating a CodedUI Test Framework Extension which sets an AutomationProperties.ItemStatusProperty to the current Font. One benefit of doing it this way is that it works with the test recorder and allows you to generate assertions and/or hand-code validations.

Read over this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/gautamg/archive/2010/01/05/series-on-coded-ui-test-extensibility.aspx

Then take a look at the example here for an idea on creating your own extension for exposing font: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mathew_aniyan/archive/2011/05/17/custom-wpf-control-s-custom-properties.aspx

Keep in mind, you will need to modify this example to get what you are after.
