Fonts don't show correctly in iOS test
Hello,
I went to test an app using the simulator in live code ((live code Menu) development -> test target -> iPhone simulator 9.1) after loading the simulator and opening app the fonts I chose were replaced with generic ones. Does anyone know if it is an issue with the simulator? The other option would be that not all fonts included in live code are supported by iOS. Any thought?
Thanks

Hi Jordy,
Are you on a windows or Mac machine? Are you talking about setting the font of a field and how did you set the font?

Tom,
I am using a mac. I set the font using the inspector options inside of buttons. The font inside of a text field is also wrong.

I should have asked before. When version of LC and Xcode? I have seen this in the sim when testing with a 5s and higher but on the device it's fine. What device are you test within the sim?

Hi Jordy,
Just a quick check.
Are you adding the font (.tts) in the Copy Files tab of the standalone builder? Have to do that

Re: Fonts don't show correctly in iOS test
X-Code 7.2.1 Livecode 7.1.1
I have not tried the font (.tts) i will look into that.
Simulator is the one accused from inside of live code it is iPhone 4s/iOS 9.1
I am going to try an iPad simulator
I will also try to test on a real device and get back to you guys.
Thanks

Hi Jordy,
If the font you are using is not in this version/list;
http://iosfonts.com/
You must include them in the Copy Files tab.

Re: Fonts don't show correctly in iOS test
Thanks Simon
I believe that is the problem. I will likely just change the font to one on the list. Could you try to explain how to include them in the Copy Files Tab. I tried looking it up but I couldn't find the info>
