Cannot use a custom font in IOS Application

Question

I am trying to use Accord Light SF Italic font in my application. (Here is the link to the font: http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Accord+Light+SF+Italic/)

I have added the font to my resources, updated in the info.plist, done everything but cannot manage the font to show up.

I guess the problem is with the name I should pass to the -[UIFont fontWithName] function. I have tried many variants, like: Accord-Italic, Accord-LightItalic, Accord Light SF Italic, but none of the work. I know I should use the system name of the font, but I do not know how to find it.

Please advise, Thanks!

You've registered it in your app with "CTFontManagerRegisterFontsForURL"? — David van Driessche, Jun 02 '13 at 22:37
@Kedar, thanks! Printing all fonts solved my problem. Answer the question so I can accept it :) — user-123, Jun 03 '13 at 06:57

Try adding your font under Copy bundle resources under build phases.

Thanks, but as I said, I am familiar with the procedure of using the custom font. I have done everything. It just does not work and the reason is the incorrect name of the font when using -[UIFont fontWithName:] method. – user-123 Jun 03 '13 at 06:40
