I previously published 2 articles on the fact that you had to retain your objects instantied from Interface Builder. I finally discovered the scientific explanation within an AdMob source file:
Note that top level objects in nibs other than MainWindow.xib in Cocoa Touch are autoreleased, not retained like in OS X. Be sure to use [self retain] in -awakeFromNib when part of a custom nib (as in this example).
Extract from the AdMob SDK source files for iOS.

This may be useful to some developers, so I provide it here. This is a list of font families names (bold) and corresponding font names (plain) available on iPhone OS 2.2.1 (in SDK simulator at least).

Since I’m debugging my project at this time, I am investigating deeper on the subject I previously wrote on (see this previous post: How to determine when CoreData’s data is loaded?). It did not take me much time to find something in Apple’s documentation (even if I never fell on it before):
Cannot access contents of an object controller after a nib is loaded
Problem: You want to perform an operation with the contents of an object controller (an instance of NSObjectController, NSArrayController, or NSTreeController) after a nib file has been loaded, but the controller’s content is nil.
Cause: The controller’s fetch is executed as a delayed operation performed after its managed object context is set (by nib loading)—the fetch therefore happens after awakeFromNib and windowControllerDidLoadNib:.
Remedy: You can execute the fetch “manually” with fetchWithRequest:merge:error:—see “Core Data and Cocoa Bindings.”
You can find this extract in the “Core Data Programming Guide”, “Troubleshooting Core Data” section (in Apple’s Mac OS X Developer documentation). It may be in previous versions of the documentation, but I currently use Leopard’s.
If I understand well Apple’s remedy, I should not try to wait my data to be loaded (and therefore find a way to know it), I should rather force the loading myself. So why not? I’ll try, and let you know if it works (and is fine) for me…
