Why can't I change font in interface builder?

Question

I change font to some other installed font in interface builder, and it always remains helvetica. Do I need to have developer license to change fonts or it's something else?

Here you can use only those fonts which are provided in fontFamily. Use the following code to find the supported font by iOS device.

NSLog(@"iOS Fonts: %@",[UIFont familyNames]);
