Custom font iOS in Today Widget always return nil
I met this problem also, and I DID targeting font to my target
and put fonts providing by application
in plist. But still gets nil when I tried to retrieve font.
Maybe because the font name you're using is wrong.
For Example (also the problem I met)
The Font which I dragged into my project name is trenolt.otf
But Use this name UIFont(name: "trenolt", size: 14)
gets nil
And According to Adding a Custom Font to Your App By Developer Documentation
I print out all the font familys and names
for family in UIFont.familyNames.sorted() {
let names = UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: family)
print("Family: \(family) Font names: \(names)")
}
Then I get in console
["TruenoLt", "TruenoRg"]
And now use the printed name
UIFont(name: "TruenoLt", size: 14)
Gets
<UICTFont: 0x7fbc39a168b0> font-family: "Trueno"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.00pt
I had same problem and in my case adding full file name including file extension under the plist key Fonts provided by application
worked for me.
Maybe it's because you forgot to add key in your .plist
file.
Add the key Fonts provided by application
to a new row. Add items for each font you have added.
