Custom fonts do not work on the device

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have tried 3 different fonts. All work on the simulator. None work on the device (iPad). One of the fonts has a space in the font name, the others don’t. The fonts are all located in the root of my project folder. Here’s my build.settings file:

settings =  
{  
 orientation =  
 {  
 default ="landscapeRight",  
 content = "landscapeRight",  
 supported =  
 {  
 "landscapeLeft","landscapeRight"  
 },  
 },  
  
 iphone =  
 {  
 plist =  
 {  
 MinimumOSVersion="4.0.0",  
 UIStatusBarHidden = true,  
 UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false,  
 UIPrerenderedIcon = true,  
 CFBundleIconFiles = {  
 "Icon.png",   
 "Icon@2x.png",   
 "Icon-72.png"  
 },  
 UIAppFonts = {"FuturaDemiBold.ttf", "Futura Bold.ttf", "TRON.TTF"}  
 },  
 },  
  
 androidPermissions =  
 {  
 "android.permission.INTERNET",  
 "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE"  
 },  
  
}

And here’s an example of how I’m using it:

local myText = display.newText("text", 0, 0, "TRON", 14);

Anyone see anything wrong here? Corona is great for game play, but the time I spend debugging simple UI stuff is getting way out of control… [import]uid: 52127 topic_id: 12421 reply_id: 312421[/import]

Verify you are doing everything laid out in the article, as custom fonts work for me. [import]uid: 5317 topic_id: 12421 reply_id: 45350[/import]

Yes, I’ve done everything they say, double and triple checked. I’ve tried several fonts, both .ttf and .otf. All work on the simulator. None work on the iPad. Good times. [import]uid: 52127 topic_id: 12421 reply_id: 45468[/import]

Banged my head against the wall with the same problem and finally decided it was time to move on and find another font. Now I test a custom font on several devices before I fall in love with it. [import]uid: 40137 topic_id: 12421 reply_id: 45482[/import]
