iOS Tutorial Custom Fonts

In order to add custom font files to your application you need to follow these instructions:
1. Add the font file to the "special" folder: <project>\Files\Special
2. Add the #AppFont attribute for each font file (including the extension):

#AppFont: papercuts-2.ttf
#AppFont: vermidirouge 1.0.ttf

3. Find the font name. You can double click on the font file:

4. Create a new font with this font name. The name should not include spaces:

Label1.Font = Font.CreateNew2("VermidiRouge", 30)
Label2.Font = Font.CreateNew2("PaperCuts2", 20)

Note that #AppFont and the special folder features are not available in the current beta.

Your app runs on iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.2) but there's no change of font? Is it a bug?

 

[Erel]

I've just tested it on an iOS 7 device and I do see the fonts. Are you running the example as is?

 

[susu]

Yes, I just download your code and run as "Debug".

Which version of B4i are you using?

 

[Erel]

This is B4i forum.

Which version of B4i are you using?

B4i 1.21

 

[Erel]

Not sure why it doesn't appear on your device. I tested it on iPad running iOS 7.

Have you tried to run it in Release mode?

Yes:

Button1.CustomLabel.Font = Font.CreateNew2("PaperCuts2", 20)

Hi.
I use custom font and it's work good but still cannot change fontsize.
of course sometime i get error "The file 'J:\Basic4x\Basic4iOS\Chapter 18\Attachment\Project\Objects\src\tahoma' already exists." what it is?
How change font size? (I use label1.Font = Font.CreateNew(30))

 

[Erel]

The size is set when you call Font.Create2. See the example in the first post.

I use Font.Create2 but not work even i set size in 40 but not change.

 

[Erel]

It is probably the designer that changes your font size. Set the font size in the designer.

Yes. You can either change the font size in Page_Resize event or set the "Handle Resize Event" property to false.
