Hi everyone, (you can answer in french)

I’m french-rookie in xcode, and I have a problem:

I’m trying to choice my custom font to add it in my Main.storyboard button, but it not works.

I have my « Font provided by application » line in my Info.plist, with the name of my font in [0] (See images below)

When I’m on storyboard button, I chose « custom » in font selector, then display font list but my custom font doesn’t appear.

I already tried to install the font in my mac, but still stucked, nothing change 😭

Could you help me please? Thanks a lot

(I specify that I scrupulously followed the way of doing explained on the Apple official page: Adding a Custom Font to Your App )

You have to load programmatically the font before use it.

There seems to be a bug in the latest Xcode or macOS causing this. I have storyboards with custom fonts that work fine, but whenever I go to the font menu, it won't show any custom fonts. I haven't changed anything in my app, so it's likely a bug that Apple needs to fix. I suspect you can manually edit the storyboard XML files to add the custom font names, but that's not a simple task.

I have the same problem in Xcode. I'm currently using macOS Sonoma 14.5 with Xcode 15.4.

I have tested to follow Apple's guidelines but the fonts will not show up in the custom fonts list. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/text_display_and_fonts/adding_a_custom_font_to_your_app

I have also tested to install the fonts to the Font Book but that did not solve the problem. Another thing that I tested (read in a forum) was to change the font color to trigger a custom font list update but that did not work either.

I can however get and use the fonts programmatically but that is not what I want to do in my project. Any updates on this Apple? This thread is one year old and the bug is still there.
