Default Including an external font into an app

Hi, Iīm trying to include a font into an iPhone app, I have seen how to include it into the iPhone but is by hacking the device... so I canīt use that solution.

Maybe somebody knows how to include an external font into an app?

I think that could be done with the .plist of the app, or something.

If somebody knows....

Thanks

I had a need for this at one time in a project I made. After countless hours of searching, everything I found said that it wasnt possible to include custom fonts.

Default Custom fonts using spritemap. It is possible!

I've actually written a tool to help you do this. Should be what you are looking for. Would be curious to hear what people think about it. 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.
