I do not want a fixed set of fonts to be included into my app. Rather I want my app to do things (to be precise: install them on my iOS devices) for any arbitrary font. The solution suggested by Ken Thomases (CTFontManagerCreateFontDescriptorsFromURL ) works perfectly for me. But thanks for the link - this might come in handy some other time.
