How do I get the font name from an otf or ttf file?

Question

I have used a custom font in my previous app.

The file name was \"ProximaNova-Regular.otf\" and to load the font I just used...

[UIFont fontWithName:

Another "quick, practical" hack that doesn't involve scanning through all the default fonts that exist on either the emulator or device is to use the font for something in your storyboard. Then if you edit the storyboard with a text editor (open as source code), you can see the fonts used with "internal" names if you search for the "customFonts" tag:

    
        AvenirNextLTPro-Bold
    
    
        AvenirNextLTPro-Regular
    
    
        TradeGothicLTPro-BdCn20
