Quickly found out that pricing for mobile fonts are expensive. However this write-up works great to use free font families from http://www.google.com/fonts/ (just need to include license text) Follow the steps in this article and you can now add other fonts not included in ios7 http://codewithchris.com/common-mistakes-with-adding-custom-fonts-to-your-ios-app/#includefonts In my case the fontname I was looking for in step 5 definitely was nowhere close to the font filename. ===== Have fun Title Comments I was looking to add some custom fonts to my app, and wanted them to be built in rather than loaded at run-time.

The code below referenced in the article works in BTv3 no problem, and does output all of the available fonts to NSLog debugger. (However the code my BT_Core in BT_device.m did not work (around row 160)) // ========== show all custom fonts available in the project ======== for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames]) { NSLog(@"%@", family); for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family]) { NSLog(@" %@", name); } } //=========== Comments One more item.
