Adding the font

Simply add the font files to your application and ensure their build action is set to “BundleResource”. Note: iOS supports TTF and OTF fonts.

Next, set the font files to be copied to the output directory.

Configure Info.plist

We need to instruct iOS that we are providing custom fonts.

Open info.plist > source > add new entry

Using the custom font

Creating a UIFont:

var font = UIFont.FromName ("segoeui", 16);

Using UIAppearance to set the title font on a navigation bar

var textAttributes = new UITextAttributes {
  Font = UIFont.FromName("segoeui", 22),
};
UINavigationBar.Appearance.SetTitleTextAttributes(textAttributes);
