Custom Font in swift

问题:

My application has to use some custom font so I start to add the font by copy it to the application folder and create the "Fonts provided by application" in info.plist, everything work fine in my Mac but when I start to debug in my phone the font turn back to the system font, How can I fix this?

This is pretty easy to do, actually. Firstly, you need to make sure that the font file is in your app file hierarchy:

you can see mine here "small_pixel.ttf"

Secondly you need to make sure that the info.plist file has the EXACT file name as your custom font:

you can see that here.

Thirdly, you need to make sure that the font is included in bundle resources you can navigate to it by going:

to add it to bundle resources simply drag and drop the file into the hierarchy.

Finally you can see all of your fonts by doing...

for family: String in UIFont.familyNames()
{
    print("\(family)")
    for names: String in UIFont.fontNamesForFamilyName(family)
    {
        print("== \(names)")
    }
}

...in some function that gets called when you launch your app. Simply scroll down through the Debug area until you find your font.
