So we're in 2014, is there any way to set custom fonts within Interface Builder yet? Ie don't do it programmatically, except for "Fonts provided by application" in the app's plist.
Add the Font File to Your Xcode Project To add a font file to your Xcode project, select File > Add Files to “Your Project Name” from the menu bar, or drag the file from Finder and drop it into your Xcode project. You can add True Type Font (. ttf) and Open Type Font (. otf) files.
Yes, Marrius is right. In Xcode 6, you neither need to use extra software nor to set Font in Code files. Just add your font files in your project along with other files. And Interface builder will display the added fonts in the Custom Font List.
And the most amazing thing is, xcode 6 shows the applied font instantly in IB. This is the great addition by Apple.
Also make sure to add this key "Fonts provided by application" in your project's info.plist and provide your font file names to see the effect in devices.
In Xcode 6, we have custom fonts available in interface builder.
No need for extra software. Thank you Apple!
In Xcode 6, just add the ttf file in your project and use it in storyboard through custom fonts. If you directly want to use it in your code without using it in storyboard then you have to add key "UIAppFonts" in projectName-Info.plist.
Example:
<key>UIAppFonts</key>
<array>
<string>Signika-Bold.ttf</string>
<string>Signika-Regular.ttf</string>
<string>Signika-Light.ttf</string>
<string>Signika-Semibold.ttf</string>
</array>
just before the line </dict>
in projectName-Info.plist.
UIFont* font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Signika-Regular" size:25];
