iphone - How to convert CGFontRef to UIFont?

Question

I want to use a custom font for a UILabel. The custom font is loaded by from a file:

NSString *fontPath = ... ; // a TTF file in iPhone Documents folder
CGDataProviderRef fontDataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename([fontPath UTF8String]);
CGFontRef customFont = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(fontDataProvider);
CGDataProviderRelease(fontDataProvider); 

How can I convert the CGFontRef to a UIFont to be used in [UILabel setFont:]?

Conrad's answer is close but doesn't quite work. You need to provide UIFont with the PostScript name, rather than the full name.

NSString *fontName = (NSString *)CGFontCopyPostScriptName(fontRef);
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:someSize]
