How to use a custom font

Before you speak the icon font, first look at how normal custom fonts are used in iOS, and the two principles are the same. Here take Kaushanscript-regular as an example:

Step 1: Import font files

Drag a font file into the project (iOS supports font formats:. TTF,. OTF, other formats are not determined):

Then, in the project's resource pool, confirm that the font files are joined to the project, open the Xcode project in build phases to view:

Step 2: Configure the. plist file

UILabel *label5 = [[UILabel alloc] Initwithframe:cgrectmake (Ten, 480, +)];label5.text = @ "\u0000e42a\u0000e525\ U0000e41c "; [Self.view Addsubview:label5];

6. Effects

7. Use the homemade icon font

If the icon library described above does not meet your needs, or if the desired icon is distributed across multiple icon libraries and cannot be centralized into a single font file, then you may need to make an icon font file yourself.

Summarize

In this way, in iOS development, not only can go directly to open-source icon library to find ready-made icons used in the project, but also can easily change the color of the icon, size, I believe that can liberate a lot of designers and engineers work.
