iOS Tutorial Custom Fonts

In order to add custom font files to your application you need to follow these instructions:
1. Add the font file to the "special" folder: <project>\Files\Special
2. Add the #AppFont attribute for each font file (including the extension):
B4X:
#AppFont: papercuts-2.ttf
#AppFont: vermidirouge 1.0.ttf
3. Find the font name. You can double click on the font file:

4. Create a new font with this font name. The name should not include spaces:
B4X:
Label1.Font = Font.CreateNew2("VermidiRouge", 30)
Label2.Font = Font.CreateNew2("PaperCuts2", 20)

Note that #AppFont and the special folder features are not available in the current beta.

I tried to use apple's san francisco font, but I got the following error:
Object was not initialized (UIFont)

My code:
B4X:
#AppFont: SF-UI-Display-Thin.otf
label1.Font = Font.CreateNew2("SFUIDisplayThin",20)

Edit: I just checked Font.AvailableNames and saw that the correct name is "SFUIDisplay-Thin". Solved :)
