How to add custom fonts in Xcode

Posted By : Manu Gupta | 30-Dec-2014

UI is the most basic and important part of an application. UI is the only thing which makes an app interactive and give life to an app. Fonts are also the backbone of an interactive UI.

So, I am going to discuss the process of adding custom fonts into an application by considering the most basic way to add fonts in an Xcode project (Objective-C and Swift ) both.

  1. Open Xcode.
  2. Go to your project and drop the fonts into your project.
  3. Now go to supporting files > info.plist file
  4. Go to the first column i.e is key
  5. Under that go to last row and click on “ + ” icon
  6. From the dropdown select the Fonts provided by application.
  7. Now click on Fonts provided by application row and click on “ + ”
  8. Under that you will get item 0 as a child
  9. Under the value column of that item 0 enter your font name with extension.
  10. Now you can use your new fonts the way you were using inbuilt one’s
