How to use Custom font in iPhone SDK/Objective c.


Is Your designer gives you a artistic font which is not available on iPhone?
Well in iOS sdk you can use any font you wish.

    1. Add  your custom font into your project , i.e. Dragged the font's ttf file (CALIBRIZ_0.TTF) into your resource folder from finder and check the "copy file to project folder" option. )
    2. Edit Info.plist: Add a new entry with the key Fonts provided by application.
    3. For each of your files, add the file name to this array



       Now set font to your label

       
      MyLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Calibri" size:16];

       Make sure you give real font name in above code.  The font file name and its “real font name” can be different.
    4. I opened the font in font book (double click on your font in finder) to see what the real filename is and I see this:


      NOTE:- Font name when i Add in my xCode project is CALIBRIZ_0.TTF. 
      But it is not real name of font, so i opened it in FontBook and found that its real name is Calibri.

id vs NSObject

There's often confusion about the difference between the following three declarations in Objective-C: id foo1; ->   It simply declares a pointer to some Objective-C object,  If you don't want (or can't have) any type checking, then use   id . if you do want compile-time type checking, you must decide between the second and third cases.. NSObject *foo2; ->  declaring a generic pointer of type NSObject* id<NSObject> foo3; ->   pointer to  any  object that behaves like an NSObjec , "foo3 is a pointer to an object of any type that behaves like an NSObject" , ( you really don't care what class the object is, you only care that it  behaves  like an NSObject.) The first one is the most common. It simply declares a pointer to some Objective-C object (see  /usr/include/objc/objc.h ).  id  gives the compiler no information about the actual type of the object, so the compiler cannot do compile-time type ...
