#FontDiskLoader
Registers a single custom font asset from disk
Material Design Specifications
Overview
Font Disk Loader lazily registers custom fonts and caches them even if they are not included in the app's info.plist.
Installation
Requirements
- Xcode 7.0 or higher.
- iOS SDK version 7.0 or higher.
Installation with CocoaPods
To add this component to your Xcode project using CocoaPods, add the following to your Podfile
:
pod 'MDFFontDiskLoader'
Then, run the following command:
pod install
Importing
Before using Font Disk Loader, you'll need to import it:
Objective-C
#import "MaterialFontDiskLoader.h"
Swift
import MDFFontDiskLoader
Usage
Make sure to add your font (or the bundle it is in) to your app target. The FontDiskLoader will lazy
register the font using a CoreText API so adding the font to your info.plist
is not necessary.
All you need to do is initialize the loader with the font name and url of the file and ask for the
font.
Code snippets
Objective-C
MDFFontDiskLoader *fontDiskLoader =

let myFont:UIFont = fontLoader.fontOfSize(16)!;
