how to use custom fonts?

[peptides]

Hello,

I have several complex vector graphics that i need positioned repeatedly, like in a font. So I made a .ttf font. How can I get iPhone to load my .ttf file? I checked the documentation but UIFont only has a static library of fonts and seemingly not a way to specify a new font.

what should i do??

There's a way to use custom fonts, but it seems to be a bit complicated... Here's a link

If you happen to use a UIWebView then you can take advantage of safari's support for css3 font-face - link

I personally haven't tried any this methods, so I can't be sure if they're the best way to do what you wanted...

Check it out guys. This tool should help. It basically lets you rip a TTF font, add a dropshadow (or not) and it creates the objective C code to support the sprite map. Then there is a class for converting a string to a bitmap for use with an opengl texture or what have you.
