Overview

Font Disk Loader lazily registers custom fonts and caches them even if they are not included in the app's info.plist.

Installation

Requirements

Installation with CocoaPods

To add this component to your Xcode project using CocoaPods, add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'MDFFontDiskLoader'

Then, run the following command:

pod install

Importing

Before using Font Disk Loader, you'll need to import it:

<!--<div class="material-code-render" markdown="1">-->

Objective-C

#import "MaterialFontDiskLoader.h"

Swift

import MDFFontDiskLoader
<!--</div>-->

Usage

Make sure to add your font (or the bundle it is in) to your app target. The FontDiskLoader will lazy register the font using a CoreText API so adding the font to your info.plist is not necessary. All you need to do is initialize the loader with the font name and url of the file and ask for the font.
