Dynamically loading custom fonts in iOS

Question

Can you dynamically load custom fonts in iOS similar to how you do in Javascript?

I have seen few questions about this but they are quite outdated or don't really answer the question.

I don't want to add a font to my application/register it in the info.plist. I want to be able to dynamically load a custom new font that is not in my library then use it within my app.

The only fonts you can download dynamically and use are Apple's own fonts. You can include a font and use it, and you can even make it available to other apps ("font provider"), but you cannot download an arbitrary font. That would be a security hole and Apple doesn't permit it.
