sizeWithFont method is deprecated. boundingRectWithSize returns an unexpected value

Question

In iOS7, sizeWithFont is deprecated, so I am using boundingRectWithSize(which returns a CGRect value). My code:

 UIFont *fontText =         


        

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you are using boundingRectWithSize: just as a way of getting the size you would get with sizeWithFont (meaning you want directly the CGSize, not the CGRect)?

This looks like what you are looking for :

Replacement for deprecated sizeWithFont: in iOS 7?

They are using sizeWithAttributes: to get the size, as a replacement for sizeWithFont.

Do you still get the wrong size using something like this :

UIFont *fontText = [UIFont fontWithName:[AppHandlers zHandler].fontName size:16];
                    // you can use your font.

expectedLabelSize = [myString sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:fontText}];
