You need to ensure that you are using the correct name with fonts. It's tricky. Try to open the font with fontbook in mac, or the equivalent in windows. On a mac, when you open the font in fontbook, you should be able to see the exact name under "PostScript name":

Then, assuming that you have properly added the font to your project, you should attempt to use it. For example, if you have a *myTextField pointer to a UITextField, and you want to use DIN-Medium 13pt you may set your custom font like so:

myTextField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"DIN-Medium" size:13.0f];
