<Error>: FT_Open_Face failed: error 85

Question

I am trying to install a custom font into my iPhone application. When I add the 'Fonts provided by application’ key into my info.plist file I get the following error ': FT_Open_Face failed: error 85.’

I am not sure what the problem is as I have successfully been able to use custom fonts in the past.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

If you leave the first element in your font array in the plist (index 0) blank, you will get this error.

Answer 2

PostScript fonts cannot be used with UIFont directly. You can use them only with CoreText or CATextLayer.
