   Hi,
   I just created a new project and tried to add a costum font. The name of the font is CrayonAL, the filename is CRAYA___.TTF. I added the CRAYA___.TTF to the Resources and did the following thing in the source code:

   Label *label1 = [Label labelWithString:@"Hello World" fontName:@"CrayonAL" fontSize:24];
   label1.position = ccp(100, 100);
   [self addChild: label1];

   When I replace CrayonAL with Arial the text will be displayed. Where is the mistake?

   Thanks

   Label uses system fonts... use FontLabel instead...
   And remember to use backticks in your posts...

   Not true Natanavra, maybe you're using old cocos versions...

   @Daniel
   You don't use font name in Label, but actual file name for font i.e. fontName:@"CRAYA___.TTF"
   So you can actually rename that font to something more readable like CrayonAL.ttf

   crmagicxxx is correct, although I don't believe you need to include the .ttf at the end.

   @daniel: what cocos2d version are you using ? custom fonts are only supported with v0.8.2 (or newer).
   Also, FontLabel should be enabled (check the cocos2d/ccConfig.h file) and the FontLabel library should be added to your project.
