          Yes you can do this via



          CTFontManagerRegisterGraphicsFont


          (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coretext/1499499-ctfontmanagerregistergraphicsfon)



          You only need a reference to a file or data reference. The code should be self-explained:



          guard let fontData = NSData(contentsOfFile: pathForResourceString) else {
          fatalError("[UIFont] Could not get data of font")
          }

          guard let dataProvider = CGDataProvider(data: fontData) else {
          fatalError("[UIFont] Could not get dataprovider of font")
          }

          guard let fontRef = CGFont(dataProvider) else {
          fatalError("[UIFont] Could not create font")
          }

          var errorRef: Unmanaged<CFError>?
          if CTFontManagerRegisterGraphicsFont(fontRef, &errorRef) == false {
          fatalError("[UIFont] Could not register font")
          }


          Then you can access the font over its name, like it were in the bundle.
