   Hello, sorry if this has been covered already.

   I'm getting started using Cocos2D Labels and noticed that it works with some of the main font names such as Arial and Helvetica, but it shows up blank for less popular fonts. My question is:

   Can I make the Labels work with any font? Or are there only a small list of supported fonts that it will work with?

   I haven't looked into how the label is made, but my experiences with it tells me that it uses fonts that the iPhone supports. The iPhone has limited font support. Google up what fonts iPhone supports, and it should work with the label.

   Freecloud, do a search for fonts in the app store. There are some free apps that will display all the fonts that are installed on your system.
