    text
    copied!<p>I am using a custom font with UILabel. I copied the font to the Supporting files folder, added it to the info.plist, and set the font in viewDidLoad with an IBOutlet. I set the font with <code>-fontWithName:@"7 Segment" size:77.0</code>, but when I ran the app, it showed Helvetica 17 as the font. I have triple checked the name of the font, and I added an NSLog to show the name of the font the label was set to, and it showed the correct settings. But, it still showed the wrong font. I am using Xcode 4.2 on OS X Lion, with a tab bar storyboard.<br> Thanks in advance!<br> Josh The Geek</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong><br> I used the code:</p> <pre><code>NSLog(@"%@", [self font]); for (NSString *family in [UIFont familyNames]) { for (NSString *font in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:family]) { NSLog(@"%@: %@", family, font); // NSLog(@"%@", font); } } </code></pre> <p>to get a list of the fonts, and it showed <code>7 Segment: 7_Segment</code>, but when I tried to use the font <code>7_Segment</code>, it still only showed Helvetica 17. Once again, I'm out of ideas. Here's a screenshot of it trying to set a font and failing. The background is an image, the orange is the failing font. <a href="http://www.evernote.com/shard/s167/sh/a59011cf-7c41-4172-b905-dd38d48591cb/b7a111d2e5096a010eeb5fe03f711df3" rel="nofollow">http://www.evernote.com/shard/s167/sh/a59011cf-7c41-4172-b905-dd38d48591cb/b7a111d2e5096a010eeb5fe03f711df3</a></p> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong> I tried setting it to AmericanTypewriter, and it worked, so now I know that I have the name wrong. Would someone please help find the name for the font 7 Segment (2D) from <a href="http://www.twyman.org.uk/Fonts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.twyman.org.uk/Fonts/</a> ? Like I said before, iOs told me both <code>7 Segment</code> and <code>7_Segment</code>, but neither work.</p>
