具有自定义字体的UILabel在iOs 5 Simulator中不显示自定义字体

Question

I am using a custom font with UILabel. I copied the font to the Supporting files folder, added it to the info.plist, and set the font in viewDidLoad with an IBOutlet. I set the font with -fontWithName:@"7 Segment" size:77.0 , but when I ran the app, it showed Helvetica 17 as the font. I have triple checked the name of the font, and I added an NSLog to show the name of the font the label was set to, and it showed the correct settings. But, it still showed the wrong font. I am using Xcode 4.2 on OS X Lion, with a tab bar storyboard.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT
I used the code:

NSLog(@"%@", [self font]);  
for (NSString *family in [UIFont familyNames]) {  
    for (NSString *font in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:family]) {  
        NSLog(@"%@: %@", family, font);  
        // NSLog(@"%@", font);  
    }  
}

to get a list of the fonts, and it showed 7 Segment: 7_Segment , but when I tried to use the font 7_Segment , it still only showed Helvetica 17. Once again, I'm out of ideas. Here's a screenshot of it trying to set a font and failing. The background is an image, the orange is the failing font. http://www.evernote.com/shard/s167/sh/a59011cf-7c41-4172-b905-dd38d48591cb/b7a111d2e5096a010eeb5fe03f711df3

EDIT 2 I tried setting it to AmericanTypewriter, and it worked, so now I know that I have the name wrong. Would someone please help find the name for the font 7 Segment (2D) from http://www.twyman.org.uk/Fonts/ ? Like I said before, iOs told me both 7 Segment and 7_Segment , but neither work.

I had the same problem once. The filename of the font is not always the name of the font itself. This blog post helped me.
