Custom Xcode Fonts Not Displayed in Storyboard

Question

I added two of my fonts to the project folder:

I added them to info.plist:

I do not see them in my list of custom fonts in the storyboard:

What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

I know this is a pretty old question, but I ran into the same problem. And these tips did not help me. Besides the standard checks (present in the kit, restarting Xcode, what fixed my problem was that my label text type was marked “Normal” and therefore some fonts did not appear in the storyboard drop-down list. As soon as I changed in the text type "Attributed", all fonts appeared in the drop-down list.

Hope this helps someone stuck with the same issue.

Answer 2

The drop-down list displays system-wide installed fonts. Therefore, you must first install your own font in your system so that it appears in this drop-down list. You can do this by double-clicking on it, FontBook.app will open and ask you if you want to install the font.

Answer 3

If Xcode previously showed your own font, but at some point stopped doing it, try adding font files to your project. This solved the problem for me. Other answers did not help.

Answer 4

I installed the font on the system according to the DarkDust solution, and I can see the font in the attribute type.

Then I changed the type to normal and could see the Custom font in the drop-down list of font types.

Answer 5

I solved my problem when I used the font name. Do not use the file name. I was used like this [UIFont fontWithName: @ "appFont" size: 17], but this is wrong.

1. Download the font file at https://fontdrop.info/ and use the name
2. My font file name is appFont.ttf, but when I downloaded, I saw Roboto Regular.
3. [UIFont fontWithName: @ "Roboto Regular" size: 17]

Answer 6

There was the same problem, but this SO-answer from Saranjith user solved it, while there were no other solutions in this thread: Custom Xcode 8 font does not appear in the interface designer

Basically in the Font Book, select “Computer Fonts,” then click the “+” button and add the fonts again.

This happened to me after switching to Xcode 11 in Catalina from Xcode 10 in Mojave.
