iOS Fonts: How to display Coptic Font in iOS - iphone

I have to display coptic font on one of my apps. I did a research and found that it is not supported on iOS. This is the website I referred to.. http://iosfonts.com/
Is there a way I could show it on UIWebView or UITextView?
Looking forward for some solutions..

Providing custom font file that can display the coptic font.
Add the font file (xxx.ttf) into your project.
Add "Fonts provided by application" in info.plist. Add the font file name(xxx.ttf) you needed into that array.
Use it as [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:size];
This fontName is not the filename (eg. xxx.ttf, not xxx for this case), you should open your ttf file and see the name of it.

following code is use when the inserting the after installing the font into the project.
UILabel *label1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 30, 240, 40)];
[label1 setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"Grinched" size:24]];
[label1 setText:#"Grinched Font"];
[[self view] addSubview:label1];
UILabel *label2 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 80, 240, 40)];
[label2 setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"Energon" size:18]];
[label2 setText:#"Energon Font"];
[[self view] addSubview:label2];
And more detail and tutorial regarding the custom font then goto Reference link here.

Unable to use Custom Font in UIButton

I am trying to use a custom font in my application, which is of ttf format. In the Project settings, I have addd that font name like below .
And I have added that font in my resources folder like below
And the font Which I am trying to use is this one
_enterButton.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Venus Rising" size:45.0];
If I use Arial or some other font, it works fine. But when I am trying to use this font, it is not at all working. Can anyone tell me why ??
I downloaded the font and as I thought it has different name than what is the name of the file. Look at this image.
Also don't forget on adding the name to the Info.plist of your app, under the key "Fonts provided by application". Hope it helps! :)
You missed extension of font in info.plist, I mean in Info.plist, "Fonts provided by application" you need to set "Venus Rising.ttf" then your problem will be solved
I encountered the same problem few days ago. For me the the font name was different from the ttf file name.
Try this loop to check all the font available in your app :
for (id familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
NSLog(#"family name : %#",familyName);
for (id font in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
NSLog(#" %#",font);
}
}
In your case, Venus Rising should appear as a family name but the exact name of the font you should use in your code may be VenusRisingRegular or something like that.
UILabel *label1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 30, 240, 40)];
[label1 setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"Grinched" size:24]];
[label1 setText:#"Grinched Font"];
[[self view] addSubview:label1];
UILabel *label2 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 80, 240, 40)];
[label2 setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"Energon" size:18]];
[label2 setText:#"Energon Font"];
[[self view] addSubview:label2];
Please try this.

If You Want To Use Custom-Font..Folow This Steps...
Add the font files to your resource files
Edit your Info.plist: Add a new entry with the key Fonts provided by application.
For each of your files, add the file name to this array
On the example below, I've added the font "DejaVu Sans Mono":
In your application you can the use
UILabel *label1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 20, 240, 50)];
[label1 setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"DejaVuSansMono-Bold" size:14.f]];
Or if you want to use it in html/css, just use font-family:DejaVu Sans Mono;
Note: this is available in iOS 3.2 and later.

UIButton font Size Not Changing

I am changing UIButton font size but it does not effect.
UIButton*headingButton=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
headingButton.frame=CGRectMake(182, 4, 450, 42);
[headingButton setTitleColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:36/255.0 green:71/255.0 blue:113/255.0 alpha:1.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
I cant see in this code that u are changing font size but anyway, this can be done like so:
[headingButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:<your font name> size:<your desired size>]];
or
[headingButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:systemFontOfSize:<your desired size>]];
Update: plus you also need to see if the font u are setting exists in your app to check just do this:
NSLog(#"Font family names: %#", [UIFont familyNames]);
NSLog(#"Fonts in family Myriad Pro : %#", [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:#"Myriad Pro"]);
If it doesnt exist, you need to drag the otf file into ur project and also add the "Fonts provided by application" in info.plist
btn.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:8.0];
btn.titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:btn.titleLabel.font.pointSize+3];
first Line for set font name and size and second line for bold a font

How to change the uitextview font size

can any one help to change the font size in UITextView.
[textView setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"ArialMT" size:30]];
I use this one but it doesn't work.
Have you bind textView with xib or allocated textView?
If yes,
You can use following code to check whether this works
[textView setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15]];
or
[textView setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]];
Check, if "Selectable" is checked in the xib/Storyboard attribute inspector. If it's not selectable, the size wont be changed
Swift 4.0
textField.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)
UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200)];
[textView setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"ArialMT" size:30]];
textView.text = #"test my font size";
[self.view addSubview:textView];
[textView release];
Your code is correct. The problem is from other part of your code. Provide more details about your textView
Set custom font and size in Swift:
textView.font = UIFont(name: "ArialMT", size: 20)
Use this:
UITextView *myTextView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
myTextView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"arial" size:14];
Here is for swift 3.0
textview.font = UIFont(name: textview.font.fontName, size: 18)
I tried it the same way like you with
[textView setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:kFontName size:kFontSize]];
I set the UITextView inside ViewDidLoad. My problem was, I transformed my view:
[_viewEnd setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.0, 0.0)];
My problem was solved with setting the properties of the UITextView after transforming my UIView which includes the UITextView.

Setting UILabel - Font through code - generates error - iPhone

See following code carefully. Because it works perfectly. Try to add in your application. it will work
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// title label - tip
UILabel *tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)];
tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(14.0/255.0) green:(105.0/255) blue:(128.0/255) alpha:1.0];
[tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:18]]; tmp.text=#"sagar";
tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [self.view addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release];
}
Now, see following code carefully. Because it doesn't work. See there is nothing difference between both of these code.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// title label - tip
UILabel *tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)];
tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(14.0/255.0) green:(105.0/255) blue:(128.0/255) alpha:1.0];
[tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial Black" size:18]]; tmp.text=#"sagar";
tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [self.view addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release];
}
I have just mentioned #Arial Black# instead #Arial# .
However it isn't working.
Is it because of iPhone doesn't support =Arial Black= ?
I would like to know why it isn't working.
How many different kind of font does iPhone support?
Is there any list?
How to set a font name to a UILabel or to any control ? (font which has space within there name )
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.
Here is a list of fonts available in the iPhone OS. It would seem Arial Black is not among them.
Try #"Arial-BoldMT"
Besides, you could always make yourself a list of available fonts:
for( NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames] ) {
for( NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName] ) {
NSLog(#"%#", fontName);
}
}
There are plenty of font apps in the App Store to see all the fonts - one of which is iFonts, an app I developed so I could email the list of fonts to someone else on the team.
