Custom Fonts wont work on device?

Question

I've just tried running my application on my iOS device(iphone 4 running IOS 6)

On the iPhone simulator it worked perfectly with Custom fonts?

But on device it goes to default font?

I use a custom class for my font here:

- (void) awakeFromNib {
    [super awakeFromNib];
     self.font = [UIFont fontWithName@"TOONISH" size:self.font.pointSize];
}

The class inharets UILabel

is the custom font being copied to the device? How did you add it to the project? — nycynik, Nov 28 '12 at 17:15

You may have more work to do to get a font working on the device.

You can also try the font on a lable, instead of the class, to verify the issue.

UIFont *toonishFont= [UIFont fontWithName:@"TOONISH-Bold" size:12.0f];
[uiLabel setFont:toonishFont];

This blog entry is pretty detailed also, http://www.perfectline.ee/blog/uiappfonts-custom-fonts-with-the-iphoneipad-3-2-sdk - is toonish a ttf font? – nycynik Nov 28 '12 at 17:35
Yes, Toonish is a ttf font. – Mads Odgaard Nov 28 '12 at 17:45
ok, should def be working, you might want to try it with a label to see if the font is actually the problem, or class is the issue. [uiLabel setFont:tonnish]; Also check value of self.font.pointSize – nycynik Nov 28 '12 at 17:50
I've just tried the setFont it still does work on the Simulator but not on the Device? – Mads Odgaard Nov 28 '12 at 18:01
