Summary:
Currently if you have a custom control that requires a font be set, and you include it from a storyboard, there is no good way to customize the font using IBInspectables.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a UIView subclass, and add this property:

```
@IBInspectable var font: UIFont!
```

2. Add a view of your class, and attempt to set this property

Expected Results:
You get a font picker for the property just like when you're customizing the font of a UILabel

Actual Results:
This property isn't customizable using interface builder

Version:
Xcode 9 beta 4

Notes:
We're currently working around this by making multiple properties for the font name and the font size, and then, based on the string, building the font in code. This is obviously a lot more overhead and is much more error prone.
