Apply Custom font to Attributed string Which Converts from HTML String

Question

I used UITextView in which i display NSAttributedString. i got HTML string from server . I converted HTML to NSAttributedString using below code.

NSMutableAttributedString *attrib = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithData:[strHTML dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:@{NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType,  NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: @(NSUTF8StringEncoding)} documentAttributes:nil error:nil];

To Apply font i tried below 2 codes.

1. apply Attribute
2. Custom String

To Apply Attribute i use below code.

[attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName
          value:myFont
          range:NSMakeRange(0, attrib.length)];

For Custom String first i create below NSString and then covert in NSAttributedString

NSString *strHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<span style=\"font-family: myFont; font-size: 12\">%@</span>",@"my string"];

Using both code Font changed successfully. but Bold and Italic not applied only Underline is applied in NSAttributedString.

i refer below links.

3. How to add CSS of an html to NSAttributedString?

Finally i got answer. you can check larmes answer(Find attributes from attributed string that user typed) or you can simply remove old font attribute and apply new font using below code.

 NSDictionary *dictAttrib = @{NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType,  NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: @(NSUTF8StringEncoding)};
 NSMutableAttributedString *attrib = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithData:[yourHTMLString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:dictAttrib documentAttributes:nil error:nil];
 [attrib beginEditing];
        [attrib enumerateAttribute:NSFontAttributeName inRange:NSMakeRange(0, attrib.length) options:0 usingBlock:^(id value, NSRange range, BOOL *stop) {
            if (value) {
                UIFont *oldFont = (UIFont *)value;
                NSLog(@"%@",oldFont.fontName);

                /*----- Remove old font attribute -----*/
                [attrib removeAttribute:NSFontAttributeName range:range];
                //replace your font with new.
                /*----- Add new font attribute -----*/
                if ([oldFont.fontName isEqualToString:@"TimesNewRomanPSMT"])
                    [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font1 range:range];
                else if([oldFont.fontName isEqualToString:@"TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT"])
                    [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font2 range:range];
                else if([oldFont.fontName isEqualToString:@"TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT"])
                    [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font3 range:range];
                else if([oldFont.fontName isEqualToString:@"TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT"])
                    [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font4 range:range];
                else
                    [attrib addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font5 range:range];
            }
        }];
[attrib endEditing];

Thanks. Maybe it will help you.
