Hi all,

I'm trying to use a TrueType font for my MenuItemLabel. I created the the label like so
```
Label *label = [Label labelWithString:@"hello world" fontName:@"Olivia" fontSize:24];
MenuItemLabel *start = [MenuItemLabel itemWithLabel:label target:self selector:@selector(start:)];
```
However, no text can be seen on the screen while the actual menu item responds to the touch. Where do I need to place the ttf file? Is it simply not able to find the font to render?

1) Not sure but I think you should enter font name with extension, e.g. @"Olivia.ttf". Though not sure on this, can't test right now

2) Check your menu/label color. Maybe it's the same as background

I'll give it a try but usually the MenuItemFont always return as white by default.

Finally got it working. It does not like the fact that the file was OLIVIA.TTF and that the extension was all uppercase.
