Ios – Using custom fonts with Xcode 6 / iOS 8 Interface Builder Launch Screen

fontsinterface-builderiosuilabelxcode

I'm using Xcode 6’s new interface builder-based launch images, and am running into an issue.

I created a new interface builder file by selecting New File, Launch Screen, which created a .xib file in my project.

Launch Screen Creation

I then designed my launch screen, and everything works great, except: I have a custom font, which I’ve assigned to a UILabel in Interface Builder. The font appropriately appears in Interface Builder, but when the .xib is used to generate launch images, the system font is used.

Any ideas?

I learned something on Twitter from @flo_muc that might be relevant:

“TIL: iOS 8 has it’s own deamon for displaying xib based launch images called splashboardd. So this xib is running outside of your scope.”

Did you actually added it to the plist File?

EDIT: Actually I tried to add my own fonts to my with the interface Builder and it doesn't work. Seems to be a bug... This bug only appears, when I use an attributed String
