You have passed a filename (glyphish.ttf) instead of the actual font name. Most likely, the font name is Glyphish, but you need to query it somehow: either using the Mac's "Font Book.app" or via code: first, you need to query the family names via [UIFont familyNames]. Then, use [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:] to get the actual font names to load. For example, if your font contains a bold variant its family name would be Glyphish but font name would likely be Glyphish-Bold.
