I have spent a long time looking at numerous solutions but to no avail. I used the following approach but am still stuck: Custom font is not working in my App?
I am currently trying to use a font family called "DFPGyoSho-Lt" In my font book, there is only one font under the family called "Regular"
Here's the steps I've taken:
- Successfully added the font "DFPGyoSho-Lt.ttf" into my project and handled it in the plist.
- Got the family name successfully using [UIFont familynames].
- Found the actual name of the font using [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName] method, which is: "DFGyoSho-Lt-MP-RKSJ-H"
- Used [UIFont fontWithName...] to display the font in a UILabel. However, the font is incorrectly displayed.
The font itself displays correctly in XCode when I click on the ttf file so it does seem like XCode is able to read it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to access the file properly or something.
Also, I do have other custom fonts (otf format) that have been used successfully within the same project. It is only with this particular font that I have difficulty.
Appreciate your help! Thanks!
Update: Someone else passed me a similar (if not the same) set of fonts and those fonts worked fine.
So I think the font that I was initially using must have been corrupted. Strangely enough, that font was still being displayed successfully in the Font Book and when I use it with other programmes such as Open Office.
Moral of the story: If a set of code for custom font is working and a particular font does not work, then the fault is likely to lie with that particular font.
