iPhone system font

Question

What is the name of the default system font on the iPhone?

I would like to retrieve this for customizing a UIView.

Answer 1

I'm not sure there is an api to get the default system font name. So I just get the name like this :

    //get system default font
    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] init];        
    fontname = label.font.fontName;
    [label release];

Looks stupid but it works.
