Italic Font Is Not Working on XCode

Question

I have copy my ttf font (ABeeZee-Italic.ttf) from Google WebFonts into Supporting Files and added into plist :

enter image description here

and assign my Label with tag = 4 :

enter image description here

because I have this code to embed fonts into UILabel:

for (UILabel *customLabel in [[self view] subviews]) {
    if (customLabel.tag == 1) {
        [customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Raleway-ExtraLight" size:21]];
    } else if (customLabel.tag==2){
        [customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"ABeeZee-Regular" size:14]];
    } else if (customLabel.tag==3){
        [customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"ABeeZee-Regular" size:11]];
    } else if (customLabel.tag==4){
        [customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"ABeeZee-Italic" size:12]];
    }
}

it's all working like a charm, but the italic font is not loaded into my iPod (iOS 6.1.3). UILabel with tag 4 is the iOS system font. not ABeeZee-Italic.

I tried to change the tag number, but also failed. Is there any specific requirements for non-regular font to be embedded into iOS?

thank you

UPDATE @iPatel answer : here's how my FontBook looks like, it has same name... enter image description here

dont use tags as they are mess to maintain.. and use `UIFont familyNames` to find the font name for the italic font — Shubhank, Sep 14 '13 at 05:17

Did you add the ttf to the resource bundle? (File inspector, checkmark next to target) — Rob van der Veer, Sep 14 '13 at 06:20

Check what is real name of font (ABeeZee-Italic) in "FontBook" ? and write name of font which is in "FontBook".

And use such like

[myLabelName  setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Font Name From Font Book" size:32]];

More information about how to add custom font in app. then read This Answer.

EDITED:

Also try with

Select Your font from your project
right click
Open With External Editor
Install Font
select inserted font
And check what is "Full name", copy and past it in your code:

May be helpful :)

I tried to use "ABeeZee-Italic", "ABeeZee Italic" (with space) and "ABeeZeeItalic" (without space) but still none of them is working... :-( – Saint Robson Sep 14 '13 at 05:28
Did anyone find a solution for this? – nitin.agam Mar 05 '20 at 06:52

You can do this in two ways.

Using ttf file

[customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Raleway-ExtraLight.ttf" size:21]];

or

Using font name

[customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:<Name of Raleway-ExtraLight> size:21]];

In your case just add .ttf in setFont: else get Name of font as shown in below image.

Just right click on .ttf file > Get Info > Full Name (your font name. You can use this name as font name in setFont)

enter image description here

EDIT

Check the full name here and paste it in your code.

[customLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"ABeeZee Italic" size:21]];

EDIT 1

May be you need to Register Fonts. Just try to register and check.

@Robert Hanson Try to add .ttf extension in your existing code and test once. – βhargavḯ Sep 14 '13 at 05:36
I did this "ABeeZee-Italic.ttf" but still no luck... It's really strange... I have no problem with the other font, but this one... – Saint Robson Sep 14 '13 at 05:39
@RobertHanson use font name as "ABeeZee Italic" and test once. – βhargavḯ Sep 14 '13 at 05:53
