Do remember. Fonts are copyrightable property. If you don't have permission to embed a non-native font then you shouldn't.

Here's a good list of iOS Fonts:

Some fonts will not work as expected:

Fontlist by Adobe:

For best appearance, use device fonts. For example, the following fonts are device fonts on the iPhone:

Serif: Times New Roman, Georgia, and _serif

Sans-serif: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet, Tahoma, and _sans

Fixed-width: Courier New, Courier, and _typewriter

Use fonts that are 14 pixels or larger.

I really need this font... i downloaded it from the internet i don't know if it's compatible. It's called "DS-Digital".
In case it won't work, is there a solution (for example replacing text with Images) ?

OOOK Problem Solved! Embedded font and modified the "Info.plist" file in the app folder.
