The free energy of a two-dimensional system at criticality has in general an universal part proportional the logarithm of the system size. This term was shown by Cardy and Peschel to be related to the curvature of the system, with smooth metrics and singular points contributing in distinct ways. In this paper we present a numerical study of the effect, for the Ising model on lattices with various topologies from the sphere to genus two surfaces. The nature of this term for specific lattice models is an open problem because the distinction between the two kinds of contributions involves an interchange of the limit of singular curvature with the thermodynamic limit. For all the lattices studied we found precise agreement with the conformal field theory prediction for conical singularities.
