BTW, one thing you'll need to figure out is how iOS "sees" the name of your font. What I do is create a dummy development app for iOS, include the font in the build, install it, and then use the fontNames function in the dummy app to get a list of fonts and determine the name of the font as it appears on IOS. Not sure if there's a better/faster way to do this, but the name that iOS will come up with is never intuitive.
AFAIK, there is no way to include a custom font other than including it as a non-stack file to be included in the build of a standalone. If somebody knows otherwise, I'd love to know how to do this.
