Custom Fonts are not showing properly?

Question

Perhaps it is the duplicate one, but I have still issues.

I have downloaded the custom fonts from the following link,

http://cooltext.com/Download-Font-Traditional+Arabic

Install it on my mac, saved in plist properly and then used as following.

lblDesc.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arabic" size:10];

After downloading I have changed it's name to Arabic, it's still not showing, can any one help me?

Thanks! Regards! Khalid Usman

Answer 1

you have to use real font family name instead of file name.

lblDesc.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Traditional Arabic-Regular" size:10];

Alternatively you can find out all the font install and check the name of the font of your interest

for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
    for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
        NSLog(@"%@", fontName);
    }
}
