Attributed string with custom fonts in storyboard does not load correctly

Question

We are using custom fonts in our project. It works well in Xcode 5. In Xcode 6, it works in plain text, attributed string in code. But those attributed strings set in storyboard

My solution is a bit of a work around. The real solution is for apple to fix Interface Builder.

With it you can mark all the bold and italic text in interface builder using a system font, then at runtime render your custom font. May not be optimal in all cases.

 NSMutableAttributedString* ApplyCustomFont(NSAttributedString *attributedText,
                     UIFont* boldFont,
                     UIFont* italicFont,
                     UIFont* boldItalicFont,
                     UIFont* regularFont)
{

    NSMutableAttributedString *attrib = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithAttributedString:attributedText];
    [attrib beginEditing];
    [attrib enumerateAttribute:NSFontAttributeName inRange:NSMakeRange(0, attrib.length) options:0
                    usingBlock:^(id value, NSRange range, BOOL *stop)
    {
        if (value)
        {
            UIFont *oldFont = (UIFont *)value;
            NSLog(@"%@",oldFont.fontName);

            [attrib removeAttribute:NSFontAttributeName range:range];

            if([oldFont.fontName rangeOfString:@"BoldItalic"].location != NSNotFound && boldItalicFont != nil)
                [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:boldItalicFont range:range];
            else if([oldFont.fontName rangeOfString:@"Italic"].location != NSNotFound && italicFont != nil)
                [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:italicFont range:range];
            else if([oldFont.fontName rangeOfString:@"Bold"].location != NSNotFound && boldFont != nil)
                [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:boldFont range:range];
            else if(regularFont != nil)
                [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:regularFont range:range];
        }
    }];
    [attrib endEditing];

    return attrib;
}
