I want to use a custom font within a Cocoapod, but I can\'t find anything on using a custom font within a static library. As there is no info.plist file, there is no where to te

For those of you finding this in 2018+, I got custom fonts to work with interface builder support (XCode 9) with these two steps:

1. Add your fonts to the resource bundle of your framework

   s.resources = "PodName/**/*.{ttf}"
   

2. Load fonts at runtime using Adam's answer above

   #import 
   
   void CFSafeRelease(CFTypeRef cf) { // redefine this
     if (cf != NULL) {
       CFRelease(cf);
     }
   }
   
   
   + (void) loadFonts {
     NSBundle *frameworkBundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:self.classForCoder];
     NSURL *bundleURL = [[frameworkBundle resourceURL] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"PodName.bundle"];
     NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithURL:bundleURL];
   
     NSURL *fontURL = [bundle URLForResource:@"HindMadurai-SemiBold" withExtension:@"ttf"];
     NSData *inData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:fontURL];
     CFErrorRef error;
     CGDataProviderRef provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((CFDataRef)inData);
     CGFontRef font = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(provider);
     if (!CTFontManagerRegisterGraphicsFont(font, &error)) {
         CFStringRef errorDescription = CFErrorCopyDescription(error);
         NSLog(@"Failed to load font: %@", errorDescription);
         CFRelease(errorDescription);
     }
     CFSafeRelease(font);
     CFSafeRelease(provider);
   }
