Custom Font

[starjimstar]

How do I add a custom font to an app? I found this thread (https://devforums.apple.com/thread/37824) but I also found it not very helpful. Can anyone clarify the process for me? Thanks.


P.S. A commercial license has been acquired so let us skip right to the meat and potatoes.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I figured it out. You can all stop being so helpful now. :rolleyes:

Why don't you post your problems and solutions in here? ;)

In our games we create a texture with all the letters, numbers and symbols we require for the game, and than simple render the text with that texture.

I thought to blog about using custom fonts in OpenGL apps... but didn't find the time to do it.

For UIKit applications, I use this:
http://github.com/zynga/FontLabel

It is a UILabel subclass that allows you to use your own font files (ttf and otf)

For OpenGL games, try using bitmaps
