Say goodbye to importing custom fonts via property lists as FontBlaster automatically imports and loads all fonts in your app's NSBundles with one line of code.

• Now there's only one method, blast(_:), which defaults to NSBundle.mainBundle() if no arguments are passed.
  • Thanks to a comment made by Stuart Moore.

• Improved font loading (Thanks to Nate Cook in PR#1)

• CocoaPods Support
• Automatically imports fonts from NSBundle.mainbundle()
• Automatically imports fonts from bundles inside your mainBundle
• Able to import fonts from remote bundles
• Sample Project

pod 'FontBlaster'

• Add import FontBlaster to any .Swift file that references Siren via a CocoaPods installation.
• Requires CocoaPods 0.36 prerelease or later

1. Download FontBlaster.
2. Copy the FontBlaster.swift into your project.

Typically, all fonts are automatically found in NSBundle.mainBundle(). Even if you have a custom bundle, it's usually lodged inside of the mainBundle. Therefore, to load all the fonts in your application, irrespective of the bundle it's in, simply call:

FontBlaster.blast() // Defaults to NSBundle.mainBundle() if no arguments are passed

If you are loading from a bundle that isn't found inside your app's mainBundle, simply pass a reference to your NSBundle in the blast(_:) method:

FontBlaster.blast(_:) // Takes one argument of type NSBundle, or as mentioned above, defaults to NSBundle.mainBundle() if no arguments are passed

To turn on console debug statements, simply set debugEnabled() = true before calling either blast() method:

FontBlaster.debugEnabled = true
FontBlaster.blast()

A Sample iOS project is included in the repo. When you launch the app, all fonts are configured to load custom fonts, but don't actually display them until you push the button. After pushing the button, FontBlaster imports your fonts and redraws the view.

This project builds upon an old solution that Marco Arment proposed and wrote about on his blog.
