Linking to Developer Fonts

Posted by | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-05-2010

Linking to fonts from the Developer Fonts package is the same way as you do in Xcode, by linking to the font property on the IB outlet. At the bottom of this post, there is a list of all the fonts included in the Developer Fonts package. However the font is spelled, upper-case, lower-case, spaced apart, is how it is linked through the font property.


UILabel *label;
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"GenevaCY" size:12];

In order to load the font, the system must have the Developer Fonts package installed or it may cause your application to crash. Your application must also be available via Cydia or Rock, as it locates fonts that you cannot use through the App Store. This also means that your application may need to have a depend added to the repo to link to the Developer Fonts package in order to prevent crashing.
