I know you can customize fonts by using Interface Builder and selecting a font. However, I’m curious if I can use a custom font that’s not included by default on systems. Is there a way to include a custom font in my application?

    While the manual font activation procedure is one option, you might also consider the ATSApplicationFontsPath Info.plist key:

    Information Property List Key Reference:

    “ATSApplicationFontsPath (String – Mac
    OS X) identifies the location of a
    font file or directory of fonts in the
    bundle’s Resources directory. If
    present, Mac OS X activates the fonts
    at the specified path for use by the
    bundled application. The fonts are
    activated only for the bundled
    application and not for the system as
    a whole. The path itself should be
    specified as a relative directory of
    the bundle’s Resources directory. For
    example, if a directory of fonts was
    at the path
    /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/Stuff/MyFonts/,
    you should specify the string
    Stuff/MyFonts/ for the value of this
    key.”

    I’d be sure to double-check, but I believe this functionality was added in OS X 10.5.x (which the code posted by Jinhyung Park targets).
