How do I support custom fonts and variable fonts?

Supporting Custom Fonts and Variable Fonts in Swift

In iOS development, supporting custom and variable fonts can enhance the typography of your application and provide a unique user experience. Here's how you can do it:

How to Add Custom Fonts

You can add custom fonts to your iOS project by following these steps:

  1. Drag and drop your font files into your Xcode project.
  2. Ensure that your font files are included in the "Copy Bundle Resources" section of your target's Build Phases.
  3. Update your Info.plist file to include the font file names under the "Fonts provided by application" key.

Using Variable Fonts

Variable fonts allow developers to customize font styles dynamically. You can utilize them similarly by referencing the font's name in your code.

// Example of using a custom font in Swift let customFont = UIFont(name: "YourCustomFontName", size: 17) myLabel.font = customFont
