Issue with adding custom fonts - ios

Question

Okay, so I'm trying to a custom font into an iOS 7 application
I've added the .ttf file into the "Supporting Files" Folder, I've added a new key which has the .ttf file specified, the .ttf file is in the "Copy Bundle Resources" area under "Build Phases" and in my *.m file I have this code... [UIFont fontWithName:#"Minecrafter_3" size:12]; By the way the "Minecrafter_3" bit is the name before the .ttf of my font.
Then I go into my main.storyboard, highlight the text in my label that I want to be that certain font, I go into the "Fonts" drop down menu and the font is not there, all that is there is the default fonts, with the "Custom" font. I tried using the "Custom" font but all it is, is "Helvetica Neue", which is not my font. I know that this is really long but I've been stuck on this for around 1 week now. Please help me!!!

Answer 1

first You can check your font added to your project or not by using the below code.
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames])
{
NSLog(#"%#", family);
for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family])
{
NSLog(#" Sub names: %#", name);
}
}
}
for example CourierNew is our font. I declared like this
[UIFont fontWithName:#"CourierNew" size:40.0f];
but actually this is not a font name.
Courier New // this one cannot use like font name
//below are font names
CourierNewPSMT
CourierNewPS-BoldMT
CourierNewPS-ItalicMT
CourierNewPS-BoldItalicMT
we have to give sub names like this
[UIFont fontWithName:#"CourierNewPSMT" size:40.0f];
Now it should work.

Sounds like you forgot to add the font file to the plist under "Fonts provided by application"

The previous comments where correct about opening the font file to find the name of the font family, not the file name to use here:
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Minecrafter_3" size:12];
