    How do I add a custom font to an app? I found this thread 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.

    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
