I know how to add custom font files to be shipped with an iOS app. I can then customize the label font from code using code like this :

UIFont* font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"League Gothic" size:42];
self.topLabel.font = font;

My concern is that such customization will "infect" all of the project and may require some significant rework later on. Is there a way to include a font file into xCode itself, so it recognizes it and lets me select it from the storyboard font control?
