Solution

  • You can also check it from the storyboard. Select the custom fonts and see if your font is showing in the storyboard or not. I just tried the same thing, and it works with the same steps. Also, check the target membership of the font as well.

    Here is my code:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    let testLabel: UILabel = UILabel()
    testLabel.center = CGPoint(x: 160, y: 285)
    testLabel.textAlignment = .center
    testLabel.text = "Hello World!"
    
    
    if let customFont = UIFont(name: "Lato", size: 54) {
            testLabel.font = customFont
        } else {
            print("Font loading failed!")
        }
    self.view.addSubview(testLabel)
}
