Frequently asked questions

What is the PostScript name of DB LCD Temp on iOS?

Use “DBLCDTempBlack” with UIFont(name:size:) or SwiftUI’s Font.custom(_:size:).

Which iOS version added DB LCD Temp?

According to the iOS Fonts availability data, DB LCD Temp first shipped on iPhone in iOS 3.0 and on iPad in iOS 4.3. It was later removed in iOS 6, so do not rely on it in new apps.

Can I use DB LCD Temp on a website?

Safari on iPhone and iPad can render installed system fonts, so a CSS stack such as font-family: "DB LCD Temp", Georgia, serif; will use DB LCD Temp on Apple devices and fall back elsewhere. Embedding the font files on a server requires a separate web licence from the foundry.
