List of working Truetypefonts for iOS devices?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have now struggled for days to try to get a Truetypefont called Impact to work in the iOS device or iOS simulator for that fact.

It is very annoying when things rocks inside the Corona Simulator and then totally breaks inside the iOS world.

So is there any help to get or discussion on a safelist of fonts that we can use on our games?

We are close to release but really need to get this last design thingy to work.

@akviby, how have you been trying, do you want to list your steps or do you want a straight answer?

On the simulator, any font installed on your machine will be visible. So, I take it that you are just referencing the font and expecting it to work on the iOS.

read up on plists.

EDIT: It seems that you have already done that, try to enclose your font in {} as a table

UIAppFonts = {“Impact.ttf”},

[lua]settings =

default = “landscapeLeft”,
supported =

“landscapeLeft”, “landscapeRight”,
},
},
iphone = {
plist = {
UIAppsFonts =
{
“Impact.ttf”
},
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true,
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
CFBundleDisplayName = “Catchem”,
UIInterfaceOrientation = “UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft”,
UISupportedInterfaceOrientations =
