Swift gives you option to select from over 600 fonts available on [google fonts https://www.google.com/fonts], but for whatever reason if you choose to use a font you downloaded form other source or just want to load the google fonts locally from your server. Then this tutorial is for you.
In this tutorial we will show you how to load the Lato font locally.
Getting the font
You can download the Lato web fonts directly from [latofonts.com http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/] When using custom fonts, you should atlas have the bold and italic variants of the font.
Preparing the fonts
Convert the three font weights into web fonts using this [convertor http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator]
Loading the fonts
In the downloaded file you will have a file named stylesheet.css with the following content

@font-face {
font-family: 'latobold';
src: url('lato-bold-webfont.eot');
src: url('lato-bold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('lato-bold-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('lato-bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('lato-bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('lato-bold-webfont.svg#latobold') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'latoitalic';
src: url('lato-italic-webfont.eot');
src: url('lato-italic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('lato-italic-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('lato-italic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('lato-italic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('lato-italic-webfont.svg#latoitalic') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'latoregular';
src: url('lato-regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('lato-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('lato-regular-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('lato-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('lato-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('lato-regular-webfont.svg#latoregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Change the font family name to late in the 3 sections, and change the font weight and style according to the font name.
