In order to use custom fonts in iOS, just add your fonts by drag & drop to your project. Mention the array of font names with extension in Info.plist with key "Fonts provided by application". Then print all font family names using below code :

for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames])

{

    DebugLog(@"FONT FAMILY: %@", family);

    for (NSString *name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family])
    {
        DebugLog(@"  %@", name);
    }
}

Console print :

Arial Hebrew ArialHebrew-Bold ArialHebrew-Light ArialHebrew

Calibri Calibri-Bold Calibri

Georgia Georgia-BoldItalic Georgia-Bold Georgia-Italic Georgia

Then from console, you will get the actual font-names (As above). Use below code to create font -

In core text :

CTFontRef fontRef = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)fontName, fontSize, NULL);

In UIKit :

UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:10];

Note : here fontName = @"Calibri-Bold" is without extension.
