Is there a way to add custom fonts to Xcode to be available from a storyboard?

Question

I know how to add custom font files to be shipped with an iOS app. I can then customize the label font from code using code like this :

UIFont* font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"League Gothic" size:42];
self.topLabel.font = font;

My concern is that such customization will "infect" all of the project and may require some significant rework later on. Is there a way to include a font file into xCode itself, so it recognizes it and lets me select it from the storyboard font control?

Alex, did you find a solution or you ended up applying font programmatically? — Adil Malik, Feb 18 '14 at 12:39

Another way to achieve it without having to relay on exposing IBOutlets or adding external libraries is using categories and user defined runtime attributes from Storyboard or Interface Builder.

That way you can define your fonts in Storyboard or IB like this:

Runtime Attributes

You can get the code required for the categories from this response.
