try rename alegre.ttf by 'Alegre-Sans' and use [UIFont fontWithName:@"Alegre-Sans" size:10.0]] — johnMa

When you use a custom font, the name you use in fontWithName:size: should be the fully-specified name of the font. This can help enumerate the fonts available to the application by their usable name: stackoverflow.com/questions/8963299/cant-find-custom-font-ios — FluffulousChimp

The font's postscript name is AlegreSans

Update this line

[lblObj setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Alegre Sans" size:10.0]]:

to

[lblObj setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"AlegreSans" size:10.0]];
