There is currently no official way to do this; but given the presentations of iWork on the iPad, it's possible that the 3.2 SDK adds this.

Edit: Assuming Jasarien is right about this; you'd probably be better off developing for iPhone OS 3.2; as you'll need an iPhone Dev Central membership to publish your applications at any rate; you might as well get started right away.

That's correct but its iPad only.
Jasarien
@Jasarien true but they will be merging the 3.2 (iPad only) with iPhone branches eventually (my guess at 4.0 in June/July). There are some iPad specific things that make no sense on an iPhone but this is one that it seems likely that the iPhone will get it.

That's pure speculation that isn't safe to rely on and isn't relevant to this point in time, or the question at hand.

The FontLabel open source project provides a means of drawing your own .ttf fonts on the iPhone.

I don't think the source can be downloaded from github because the terminal say "-bash: git://github.com/zynga/FontLabel.git: No such file or directory" may the folder does not exists or is corrupted

@Madhup you have to install git (http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/), and then run `git clone git://github.com/zynga/FontLabel.git`

@Madhup: Also, there is a "Download source" button in the upper-right of the page that lets you download a Zip archive of the project.

@Brad Larson: sorry I was doin a silly mistake in running the command. I had the installer installed but I didn't typed "git clone"
