   Hi Everyone ,
   I am developing game for iPhone using coco2d and Chipmunk.
   My game has different font other than iPhone in built font.
   I have few question about iPhone fonts:
   1. Did iphone supports custom font?
   2. Is it possible to install custom fonts?
   3. How to use custom fonts.
   As we don't want to use iPhone in built font.

   Thanks,
   Pravin

   Look into BitmapFontAtlas, you'll need to use a bitmap font - There are some examples in the Cocos2D example project.

   I think maybe you can use fonts another way as well, but as far as I know BitmapFontAtlas is the one to use because it's the fastest to redraw every frame

   @pravin: See the tests/FontTest and tests/AtlasTest to see the examples regarding the supported fonts.

   Thanks Riq ,

   I check out tutorial tests/FontTest. In this tutorial I am not getting how the font file ".ttf" will install in app. As I simply drag and drop the "Abduction.ttf" in my game and trying to use it but it can not work for me ?
   Is there any other procedure to add ".ttf" file in app?

   Thanks
