  • You can use custom fonts, see this [post][1]. [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15984937/adding-custom-fonts-to-ios-app-finding-their-real-names – Vinay Jain Nov 28 '13 at 07:36

  • Please be aware that you need to have the permission to re-distribute the custom font you include with your application, that may be included with a license you get if you purchase the font, or if the font is public domain that is not an issue. I'm not sure Futura Heavy BT is a free font though. – Kendall Helmstetter Gelner Nov 28 '13 at 08:31

Yes you can use the custom font in iOS app follow the steps:

  • Download the font .ttf etc.
  • Copy it in your project.
  • Goto info.plist and add new property than search for "Fonts provided by application" and add the font names.
  • Than goto your viewcontroller and

    • NSLog(@"Font names: %@",[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"Futura"]);

  • From console copy the font name and use it.
    • [UIFont fontWithName:fontname size:15.0f];

    You have to add custom fonts if its not available in the list that Apple provides. A very good tutorial to learn how to use custom fonts in iOS.
