I would like to display a custom font inside a UIWebView. I have already put the font in the plist under "Fonts provided by application". The code in use:
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:myRect]; NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]; [webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:baseURL]; [self addSubview:webView]; where html is an NSString that has the following contents:
<html><head> <style type="text/css"> @font-face { font-family: gotham_symbol; src: local('GOTHAMboldSymbol_0.tff'), format('truetype') } body { font-family: gotham_symbol; font-size: 50pt; } </style> </head><body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"> This is <i>italic</i> and this is <b>bold</b> and this is some unicode: э </body></html> I'm using iOS 4.2 so TTF should be supported. I'd appreciate a bit of html/code that actually works.

Nope, it isn't possible to style your text with a custom font embedded via CSS, while preventing people from downloading it. You need to use images, Flash, or the HTML5 Canvas, all of which aren't very practical.
To use a custom font, add the font file that contains your licensed font to your app, and then apply the font to a text view or set it as a default font within a container view. SwiftUI's adaptive text display scales the font automtically using Dynamic Type.
After some Try and Error I have found a reliable way to load custom Fonts with a local CSS.
1. Add your Font to the App...make sure that the file is targeted properly to the Application
2. Then add your Font to yourApp-Info.plist
3. Run NSLog(@"Available fonts: %@", [UIFont familyNames]); To check which name the font/fontfamily has for the System...
4. Copy that name and use them in your CSS...@font-face is not needed
body { font-family:"Liberation Serif"; } I ended up making it work although I'm not sure what I did wrong above. Here's the HTML I use (NSString *htmll). I added everything, some of it might not be relevant for the solution.
<html><head><style type="text/css"> @font-face { font-family: 'gotham_symbol'; src: url('GOTHAMboldSymbols_0.ttf') format('truetype') } @font-face { font-family: 'gotham_symbol_italic'; src: url('GothamBoldItalic.ttf') format('truetype') } #w {display:table;} #c {display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle;} i { font-family: 'Helvetica-BoldOblique'; } </style></head><body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> <div style="display: table; width: 320px; height: 50px; #position: relative; overflow: hidden;"> <div style=" #position: absolute; #top: 50%;display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;"> <div style=" #position: relative; #top: -50%"> <p style="font-size:20px;font-family:'gotham_symbol';color:#97371f;">THE TEXT GOES HERE</p></div></div></div></body></html> and I load the UIWebView as follows:
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:rect]; [webView makeTransparent]; NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]; [webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:baseURL]; If you love us?
