This is pretty easy to do, actually. Firstly, you need to make sure that the font file is in your app file hierarchy:
you can see mine here "small_pixel.ttf"
Secondly you need to make sure that the info.plist file has the EXACT file name as your custom font:
you can see that here.
Thirdly, you need to make sure that the font is included in bundle resources you can navigate to it by going:
to add it to bundle resources simply drag and drop the file into the hierarchy.
Finally you can see all of your fonts by doing...
for family in UIFont.familyNames {
print("Family: \(family)")
for name in UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: family) {
print(" - \(name)")
}
}
...in some function that gets called when you launch your app. Simply scroll down through the Debug area until you find your font.
(ps. this is from my first really trashy game. If you want to check it out, search "Crappy Duck" on the AppStore)

The key point for me was to manually copy the font to Build Bundle Resources. Xcode 10 was not doing it for me. Also I needed to delete the Info.plist file from here which was causing build process to fail. Xcode would always put it there as soon as I add font name in it and set its membership, or change font size in the storyboard. It is sad that Xcode does such stupid things and make font customization such a difficult task that you need to spend hours online trying to figure out why it doesn't work when you follow Apple's documentation.
