虽然上面的一些答案是正确的，但我已经为那些仍然对字体有问题的人写了一个详细的可视化教程。

上面的解决方案告诉你将字体添加到plist并使用

[self.labelOutlet setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Sathu" size:10]];

都是正确的。现在请使用任何其他的黑客方式。如果您仍然面临查找字体名称和添加它们的问题，这里是教程-

在ios应用程序中使用自定义字体

Swift，代码方式:(也适用于Swift 2.0)

添加所需的字体到你的项目(就像添加图像，只需拖动到Xcode)，确保他们是针对你的项目 添加这个方法并加载自定义字体(推荐在appDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions中)

func loadFont(filePath: String) {

    let fontData = NSData(contentsOfFile: filePath)!

    let dataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData(fontData)
    let cgFont = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(dataProvider)!

    var error: Unmanaged<CFError>?
    if !CTFontManagerRegisterGraphicsFont(cgFont, &error) {
        let errorDescription: CFStringRef = CFErrorCopyDescription(error!.takeUnretainedValue())
        print("Unable to load font: %@", errorDescription, terminator: "")
    }

}

使用的例子:

if let fontPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("My-Font", ofType: "ttf"){
      loadFont(fontPath)
}

使用字体:

UIFont(name: "My-Font", size: 16.5)

如果你使用的是xcode 4.3，你必须将字体添加到拷贝Bundle资源下的构建阶段，根据线程https://stackoverflow.com/users/1292829/arne，自定义字体xcode 4.3。这对我来说很有效，下面是我在应用程序中使用自定义字体的步骤:

Add the font to your project. I dragged and dropped the OTF (or TTF) files to a new group I created and accepted xcode's choice of copying the files over to the project folder. Create the UIAppFonts array with your fonts listed as items within the array. Just the names, not the extension (e.g. "GothamBold", "GothamBold-Italic"). Click on the project name way at the top of the Project Navigator on the left side of the screen. Click on the Build Phases tab that appears in the main area of xcode. Expand the "Copy Bundle Resources" section and click on "+" to add the font. Select the font file from the file navigator that pops open when you click on the "+". Do this for every font you have to add to the project.

是的，您可以包括自定义字体。参考UIFont的文档，特别是fontWithName:size:方法。

1)确保在你的资源文件夹中包含了该字体。

2)字体的“名称”不一定是文件名。

3)确保你有使用这种字体的合法权利。通过把它包含在你的应用中，你也在传播它，你需要有这样做的权利。

我是这样做的:

加载字体:

- (void)loadFont{
  // Get the path to our custom font and create a data provider.
  NSString *fontPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"mycustomfont" ofType:@"ttf"]; 
  CGDataProviderRef fontDataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename([fontPath UTF8String]);

  // Create the font with the data provider, then release the data provider.
  customFont = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(fontDataProvider);
  CGDataProviderRelease(fontDataProvider); 
}

现在，在你的drawRect:中，像这样做:

-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
    [super drawRect:rect];
    // Get the context.
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextClearRect(context, rect);
    // Set the customFont to be the font used to draw.
    CGContextSetFont(context, customFont);

    // Set how the context draws the font, what color, how big.
    CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFillStroke);
    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, self.fontColor.CGColor);
    UIColor * strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, strokeColor.CGColor);
    CGContextSetFontSize(context, 48.0f);

    // Create an array of Glyph's the size of text that will be drawn.
    CGGlyph textToPrint[[self.theText length]];

    // Loop through the entire length of the text.
    for (int i = 0; i < [self.theText length]; ++i) {
        // Store each letter in a Glyph and subtract the MagicNumber to get appropriate value.
        textToPrint[i] = [[self.theText uppercaseString] characterAtIndex:i] + 3 - 32;
    }
    CGAffineTransform textTransform = CGAffineTransformMake(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    CGContextSetTextMatrix(context, textTransform);
    CGContextShowGlyphsAtPoint(context, 20, 50, textToPrint, [self.theText length]);
}

基本上，你必须在文本中进行一些暴力循环，并摆弄神奇的数字来找到字体中的偏移量(这里，看到我使用29)，但它是有效的。

另外，你必须确保字体是合法嵌入的。大多数人都不是，有律师专门处理这类事情，所以要小心。

编辑:这个答案在iOS3.2失效;使用UIAppFonts

我能够成功加载自定义UIFonts的唯一方法是通过私有的GraphicsServices框架。

下面将加载应用程序主包中的所有.ttf字体:

BOOL GSFontAddFromFile(const char * path);
NSUInteger loadFonts()
{
    NSUInteger newFontCount = 0;
    for (NSString *fontFile in [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathsForResourcesOfType:@"ttf" inDirectory:nil])
        newFontCount += GSFontAddFromFile([fontFile UTF8String]);
    return newFontCount;
}

一旦字体被加载，它们就可以像apple提供的字体一样使用:

NSLog(@"Available Font Families: %@", [UIFont familyNames]);
[label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Consolas" size:20.0f]];

GraphicsServices甚至可以在运行时加载，以防API在未来消失:

#import <dlfcn.h>
NSUInteger loadFonts()
{
    NSUInteger newFontCount = 0;
    NSBundle *frameworkBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.GraphicsServices"];
    const char *frameworkPath = [[frameworkBundle executablePath] UTF8String];
    if (frameworkPath) {
        void *graphicsServices = dlopen(frameworkPath, RTLD_NOLOAD | RTLD_LAZY);
        if (graphicsServices) {
            BOOL (*GSFontAddFromFile)(const char *) = dlsym(graphicsServices, "GSFontAddFromFile");
            if (GSFontAddFromFile)
                for (NSString *fontFile in [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathsForResourcesOfType:@"ttf" inDirectory:nil])
                    newFontCount += GSFontAddFromFile([fontFile UTF8String]);
        }
    }
    return newFontCount;
}
