Try the steps below:

1. Make configuration in the info.plist as shown in Image

enter image description here

2. Now you should use that added file

UIFont *customFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"fontName" size:size];

// further you may set That Font to any Label etc.

EDIT: Make Sure you have added that file in your resources Bundle.

@Dev This is the solution, it works. Be sure you added the font file to the resources folder. And when you set the font in the source code use : (for instance if you want to use bolda.ttf) [UIFont fontWithName@"bolda" size:15]; (do not add .ttf) – Ashbay Oct 23 '12 at 12:07
No ashbay, this is not working for me.Iam adding like UIFont *customFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"MYRIADPRO-SEMIBOLD" size:35]; titleLbl.font = customFont; – Dev Oct 23 '12 at 12:19
@Dev have you added `Custom file` in your resource bundle? – Kamar Shad Oct 23 '12 at 12:20
Yeah I added file to the resource folder – Dev Oct 23 '12 at 12:25
@Dev it can not be possible. just check again under the `Target ->buildPhase-->Copy bundle Resource` find whether the file is available or not.if not just drag and drop into that place.see my edit – Kamar Shad Oct 23 '12 at 12:30
Kamarshad, The file is available there.. – Dev Oct 23 '12 at 12:32
@dev can you put your code which you were using ? – Kamar Shad Oct 23 '12 at 12:33
Yeah..sure.. I have edited the question. please check – Dev Oct 23 '12 at 12:38
Yeah... Now it working... Once more downloaded a new font file and place it in the resource folder... Thank you so much... :) – Dev Oct 23 '12 at 12:48

The important bit is that the name referenced in `fontWithName:size:` may not be the same as file name. On a Mac, if you open the font with Font Book (default app), it will show the correct name in the title bar. You can rename the file but the *font name* will not change. – SaltyNuts Apr 08 '15 at 18:37

Copy your font file into Resources.
In your application .plist create (if it exists just create a row) a row called Fonts provided by application and then in item 0 copy your font name for example Ciutadella-Bold.otf

Then you can define this font in your application:

UIFont *CiutadellaBold = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Ciutadella-Bold" size:17.0f];

And use it in for instance in UILabel:
```
[uiLabel setFont:CiutadellaBold];
```
