On Android it takes the name of the file and you are done. On iOS however it is a bit more complex.

There are a few steps you should take:

• Double check the font files are included in the Target in XCode

• Include them in the Info.plist of the app
• Find the name of the Font through FontBook or with some log statements in your AppDelegate
