iOS custom font for Custom UITableViewCell

[erdinc27]

i want to use a custom font for my application. i added font file to my app and the in info.plist i added a new row Fonts Provided By Application as an array and added my font OpenSansBold.ttf. and the font file can be seen in Build Phases also. In the table view cell i want to use that font so i wrote this.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *cellID = @"HaberCell";
    
    HaberCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];
    
    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[HaberCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellID];
    }
    
    Haber *currentHaber = [self.arrHaberler objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    cell.haberLbl.text = currentHaber.haberTitle;

    cell.haberLbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"OpenSansBold" size:12];

    return cell;
}

but it cant be seen in the right font format. how can i change the label's font here ?

you're doing it right but it can be tricky to know what a font is actually named.

start by logging this fella

[UIFont familyNames]

Then find the font family you're after in the list and print out this fella

[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"myFont"]

That will tell you what you should name the font you are trying to load.

Yeah, it’s the internal font name, not the TTF filename. A quick search seems to indicate this font name should be:

OpenSans-Bold

iOS Fonts List

Looking at Apple's documentation, I found a very useful page that lists all fonts installed with iOS 7 and additional fonts which apps can downloaded.
