UIFont custom font not displaying on device

Question

I have a problem with custom font. Namely it's Tw Cen MT.ttf

It's the same problem as in here: Custom font not showing on device, but does on simulator

Except the given solution doesn't work for me.

I have done exactly what you should do:

1. Added Font to Info.plist
2. Added Font to Copy Bundle Resources section in Build Phases.
3. Used font programmatically by name not filename.

It still doesn't work. What's more interesting - when I list available fonts:

NSLog(@"%@", [UIFont familyNames]);

It shows me my font on simulator but does not show it on the device. I tested it both on the new iPad and iPhone 4 with iOS 6.

Any advice?

Answer 1

Be sure not to confuse the family name with the font name. This is the code I use to check the real name of my fonts.-

NSArray *familyNames = [UIFont familyNames];
for (NSString *aFamilyName in familyNames) {
     NSArray *fontNames = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:aFamilyName];
     for (NSString *aFontName in fontNames) {
        NSLog(@"%@", aFontName);
     }
}

Answer 2

Make sure you got the name of the font right. The simulator is not case sensitive whereas the phone is.
