# Can I embed a custom font in an iPhone application?

This [question](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/23175/how-to-solve-neet-question-paper-in-less-time) relates to [iOS](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12222/core-data-and-how-to-use-it-in-ios-objective-c) pre-3.2. As of 3.2 this [functionality](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/136/using-watermark-functionality-in-textbox-by-jquery) is easily achievable using samvermette's answer below.\
I would like to have an app include a [custom](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12298/use-custom-writing-services-to-get-through-the-finals) font for rendering [text](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/301635/did-people-reinvent-texting-to-express-the-full-range-of-emotions), [load](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/33737/what-is-meant-by-average-load-time) it, and then use it with [standard](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23223/naming-convention-or-coding-standard) UIKit [elements](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1440/wpf-button-with-multiple-text-elements) like UILabel. Is this possible?

Copy your font file into resources\
Add a key to your Info.plist file called UIAppFonts. ("Fonts provided by application)\
Make this key an array\
For each font you have, enter the full name of your font file (including the extension) as items to the UIAppFonts array\
Save Info.plist\
Now in your application you can simply call [UIFont fontWithName:@"CustomFontName" size:15] to get the custom font to use with your UILabels and UITextViews, etc
