I would like add custom font family on my React Native App on iOS. I've no problem with Android, but i've an error in iOS :
Unrecognized font family 'dinproRegular'
I've use this link for setup my font, but no result.
File name : dinproRegular.ttf
Call in react-native : fontFamily: "dinproRegular" // Test with "Dinpro Regular" too
No result :(
Anyone have idea ?
Just check the fonts that are currenly installed in Ios or Android:
https://github.com/react-native-training/react-native-fonts
If you want to add custom fonts:

Hope it helps!
In iOS, you can see what font name you should use in code to let it work
Use below code in AppDelegate.m to get all font names supported in your app.
for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames])
{
NSLog(#"%#", family);
for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family])
{
NSLog(#" %#", name);
}
}

I want to set bold font on UILabel. I generate label by coding. when i try to set bold font on label ios set system regular font but i want to set 'Noto sans-Bold' font. In storyboard set font completely.
My code is
UILabel *lblName=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 25, 100, 21)];
lblName.text=#"Hello World";
[lblName setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Noto Sans-Bold" size:15.0]];
[self.view addSubview:lblName];
If you haven't got the formatting of your font title correct, it will automatically default back to system font.
The issue is with your font name and since Noto isn't native it's going to be difficult to know exactly what name you need to provide.
Make sure you have added that font to your project.
You can check your available fonts by running this code:
SWIFT
for familyName in UIFont.familyNames() {
print("\n-- \(familyName) \n")
for fontName in UIFont.fontNamesForFamilyName(familyName) {
print(fontName)
}
}
OBJECTIVE-C
for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]){
NSLog(#"Family name: %#", familyName);
for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
NSLog(#"--Font name: %#", fontName);
}
}
lblname.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Noto Sans-Bold" size:18];
and one more thing check your font correctly it is available in list or not.
Here is a list of available fonts .
List of available fonts
EDIT:-
or if you want to set font which not available in xcode then you have to first install it in XCode
please follow this tutorial.
Install custom fonts
As said by Jilouc follow this procedure.
Add the font files to your resource files
Edit your Info.plist: Add a new entry with the key Fonts provided by application.
For each of your files, add the file name to this array
On the example below, I've added the font "DejaVu Sans Mono":
In your application you can
the use [UIFont fontWithName:#"DejaVuSansMono-Bold" size:14.f].
Or if you want to use it in html/css, just use font-family:DejaVu
Sans Mono;
I'm trying to use ubuntu font for uibutton programmatically (button is also created programmatically and it's custom). Here's what I've done.
[self.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Ubuntu" size:20.0]];
but no luck. I've checked everything.
- font is included in build phases
- I've added font in info.plist
But when I add label from interface builder and set ubuntu font from attribute inspector then everything works fine. Font is applied also on uibutton. but when I remove that label problem persists.
What's going on here?
Edit:
I've already followed steps provided in answers of similar problems. like this.
How to include and use new fonts in iPhone SDK?
Just make sure all the fonts really are available in the bundle, try printing all fonts and check if you are using the correct name. You can very easily do this with following code in app delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:
for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
NSLog(#"Family Name : %#", familyName);
for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
NSLog(#"\tFont Name : %#", fontName);
}
}
In Alphabetic Order:
for (NSString* family in [[UIFont familyNames] sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(compare:)])
{
NSLog(#"%#", family);
for (NSString* name in [[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:family] sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(compare:)])
{
NSLog(#" %#", name);
}
}
Get of your font from printed values and then use it as you are already doing.
Hope it helps
in iOS 8, Xcode6, I add a custom font, in info.plist. It's there in Build Phases. It's there in the storyboard, but it does not list in familyNames. I've read every other Stack Overflow post on this several times.
The file is CODBARD.TTF. The actual postscript name is codabard.
for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames])
{
NSLog(#"%#", family);
for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family])
{
NSLog(#" %#", name);
}
}
It's not there.
And this line of code just produces a nil result
UIFont *customFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"codabard" size:20];
You have to use that font somewhere in a xib or storyboard
I create a blank xib and add labels which use the desired font, than i don't use the xib nowhere, but this loads the custom fonts
I want to add custom font in my application . I am adding in my project.
and then adding in .plist file.
and my code is
UIFont *CiutadellaBold = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Light up the World with accented characters" size:90.0f];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
[label setFont:CiutadellaBold];
label.text =#"hello";
But the text does not show up in my custom font. What am I doing wrong?
The name of your font is most likely not identical to file name. You can find out names of fonts available in app like this:
for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames]) {
NSLog(#"%#", family);
for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:family])
NSLog(#" %#", name);
}
Your font name is not equals to the file name, you should get in in file info
First check your font is installed in "Font Book" application in your mac. copy the "postScript name" and use in your code.
UIFont *CiutadellaBold = [UIFont fontWithName:#"postScript name" size:90.0f];
Please refer attached screen shot.
Note:This is for iPhoneSimulator. You also check this in device. Sometime this issue not occur in device.
I am unable to set custom font for the UILabel in XCode.
This is what I've tried:
Download "JennaSue" font -- http://www.dafont.com/jenna-sue.font
Open "app-info.plist" under "Supporting Files" folder
Add new row in the list with key "Fonts provided by application"
In this array add "JennaSue.ttf"
Use it in the code like this:
self.someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"JennaSue" size:14];
And nothing happens -- the default font is visible.
Why? What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?
Be sure your font is in Bundle Resources. For some reason Xcode it is not importing custom font properly most of the time:
I've got the font working:
Example code: here
Go to your project's info.plist file,
Right click and select Add row,
Type Fonts provided by application in the new row,
Type in the desired font name as items for this key.
Drag and drop the font file into the project,
Apply it to the text you want:
someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"JennaSue" size: 12.0];
I think you've missed step 5 up there.
Update: When doing step 5, remember to check the marks for copying the actual file into project directory:
Remember to clean your project by pressing "command+alt+shift+K" (IRRC!)
And then go to your
and then go to your project's Build Phases, and make sure you can see your .ttf file file among the resource files:
P.S. I'm not on my Mac at the moment, so I used screenshots from this tutorial. That's why I grayed out the unnecessary lines for your issue.
Check this code:
NSArray *names = [UIFont familyNames];
NSLog(#"Font FamilyNames : ");
for (NSString *name in names) {
NSLog(#"Font Family: %#",name);
NSArray *fontFaces = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:name];
for (NSString *fname in fontFaces) {
NSLog(#" %#",fname);
}
}
self.someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"use correct name" size:self.someLabel.font.pointSize];
and use the same name printed with NSLog.
After adding custom font to Xcode don't forget to add font to plist.
Project settings > Info > Custom IOS target properties
Add property Fonts provided by application and type your custom font(filename of font file).
Then you can use that code example
self.someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"JennaSue" size:14];
Notice: make sure that you use right font name in code. To do that you should add this font to your Mac's font book, open font book, choose that font and check the right name font.
Hope this helps
self.someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"JennaSue.ttf" size:self.someLabel.font.pointSize];
i used following code and it's done
UILabel * lblTest = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 200, 100)];
lblTest.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"JennaSue" size:25.0];
lblTest.text = #"Hello World";
[self.view addSubview:lblTest];
and if still not working looking at your system font book and search that font and That Font you have to use to get it work
also try this lblTest.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Jenna Sue" size:25.0];
The font could be corrupted or something. I tried the solutions provided by Gabriel.Massana & Neeku and it worked on some fonts. Try adding the font to your Mac. If it showed verification problem, most probably it's not gonna work in your app. Hope this helps
is the file visible in Compile Source now…if yes then you may have the font name wrong..sometimes the font names are different then their file name…try running a
for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames])
{
for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName])
{
NSLog(#"%#", fontName);
}
}
this lines of code..you will be able to see the actual name of the font and use that name instead
Here is #Ritu's answer in Swift 2. Just put this in your AppDelegate, or in viewDidLoad method of your View Controller:
let names = UIFont.familyNames()
for name in names {
print("Font Family: \(name)")
let fontFaces = UIFont.fontNamesForFamilyName(name)
for fname in fontFaces {
print(" \(fname)")
}
}
You will have all your font names in console log, just copy and paste the one you need in your code.
