Custom fonts since iPhone OS 3.2

Finally iPhone OS 3.2 supports custom fonts. Here is a short summary what you have to do..

Supported font formats are ..

• TrueType-flavoured OpenType (extension .ttf) and
• PostScript-flavoured OpenType (extension .otf).

Ok what you have to do is simple ..

1. just add the key UIAppFonts as array to your Info.plist
2. add the *.ttf or *.otf files to your bundle
3. insert the filenames as values to your UIAppFonts array
4. Load the fonts with ..

// use the font name here, not the filename
UIFont *myCustomFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"AnnabelScript" size:30];

Note: You can also use the fonts in your UIWebViews with font-tags or CSS.
