So I recently started using the custom TTF support that was added to Label in 0.8.2. The app runs perfectly in the simulator. The TTF Labels are created and look fine. However, when I build my app for the device it crashes. I have cleaned the build but it has not solved the issue. I'm building for 3.1 using the Cocos template. I recently upgraded the project from 0.8.1.
Console reads:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSCFString drawInRect:withZFont:lineBreakMode:alignment:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xd8098'

I stepped through the whole uiFont creation process and everything seems to work fine as best I can understand it. The crash happens right after the CGRectMake() call is made on line 385, so it would seem that the uiFont selector is the issue?
Not sure if it's relevant, but I am using a custom TTF that a colleague of mine created specially for this game. If the TTF were the issue though I would not expect the app to run OK in the simulator, which it does.
