Using Custom Font doesn't work

I followed this tutorial http://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/01/16/faq-wednesday-custom-fonts/

I installed the font locally.

I changed my build.settings. Now its

iphone = &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; plist = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; UIAppFonts = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "Passing Notes.ttf" &nbsp;-- Font file name &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; }

In the console it says the font name is PassingNotes so in my code I put

&nbsp;local question = display.newText ("WNumber 1 is the correct number?", 0, 0, PassingNotes, 18)

The font is in the main folder. I’ve restarted my computer and Corona.

I can’t figure out why it doesn’t work.

Try putting PassingNotes in quotes as its expecting a string.

[lua]local question = display.newText (“WNumber 1 is the correct number?”, 0, 0, “PassingNotes”, 18)[/lua]
