Can't set custom Font in UILabel (iPad app)

I load view from bundle and try to set custom font for label in it, but nothing changes. Outlets for this view and labels are in file's owner. Here's my code:

    self.rikView = (RIKMainToolbar*)[[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"RIKMainToolbarPort" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
    label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"PFDinTextCondPro-Medium.ttf" size:46];

What am I doing wrong?

UPD: I use this font in iPhone app, but there it's using for label in ViewController and sets in viewDidLoad function. And it works. So, I consider that problem is in loadWithNibName or in iPad.

Solved, thanks to @voromax. The problem was that labels' outlets belonged to file's owner. I've replace it with class and everything works)

You are not using the correct font name. You seem to be using the font file's name, NOT the font name. For example, in my current app I have the file Opal_1.ttf. However, I use "Opal" as the font name.

I'm not sure I follow your code exactly, but assuming you're making the label.font assignment in initWithFrame of RIKMainToolbarPort, try moving it to the awakeFromNib method.

Open the FontBook application, and select "view font info". Copy the post-script-name of your desired font, and use that in your Obj-C code
