how can I load and embed a custom font in my iphone app? what font file types are supported? (otf, ttf...)
It is possible to supply fonts with your app and use them. Take a look at CGFontCreateWithDataProvider which should provide all the functionality you need.
At least TTF is supported, not sure about OTF.

How do you guys handle converting your iOS games to tvOS in regards to fonts?
tvOS hardly supports any fonts available on iOS and therefore my game menus etc just look plain and boring on the appleTV.
I understand that Apple wants to use SanFrancisco style fonts for apps for legibility, which makes sense.
For Spritekit games however those fonts dont look good at all, especially when having cartoonish style artdesign.
Is there any trick to get fonts such as Chalkduster, Damascus etc to work on tvOS in code without having to resort do do all the menus in Photoshop just for the appleTV.
Am I missing something?
As Daniel Storm so kindly pointed out to use custom fonts beyond the supported ones I can follow this stack overflow question
How to add custom fonts to an iPhone app?
What is the best way to support richtext (bold, italics, font sizes, etc) in an iOS app? I don't believe UITextView and UIWebView can do this. What are most word processing apps using?
One tool to do this is Core Text API
Take a look at this tutorial and the documentation from Apple.

I tried to embed font at web pages. I can see the font rendering properly at latest non-IE browsers, but when I tried with Iphone Safari Browser, it doesn't render. I want to know whether Iphone Safari supports font embedding. Thanks.
They work in SVG format. Use the fontsquirrel.com generator to make the SVG version.
I'd noticed the same thing, but in truth you can get it to work but with SVG fonts. See this article: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/how-to-achieve-cross-browser-font-face-support/ for a method for converting web fonts into enough formats to be truly cross-platform.
I need to show barcode string(example :1001847983) into barcode image in A UIView. Does the iPhone SDK supports barcode fonts?
I don't need reading the barcode, I just want to show the string in barcode lines.

Then find yourself a barcode font

No, there is no built-in way to display barcodes. You'll have to create a custom view to convert and display them yourself. Simplest way would probably be to make each black line an opaque, empty UIView and add a lot of them with the correct frames to a UIView subclass.
Built-in iPhone fonts are here:
