Fonts on iOS device

Question

I\'ve read the available font families by [UIFont familyNames], but I\'ve got various lists on different devices (but with the same iOS version). Can somebody tell me, if th

Answer 1

Yes, it shows all the fonts within your app, including the custom fonts you've added. Here's the shorter code to list all the fonts:

Objective-C

for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]){
    NSLog(@"Family name: %@", familyName);
    for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
        NSLog(@"--Font name: %@", fontName);
    }
}

Swift 2

for familyName:AnyObject in UIFont.familyNames() {
    print("Family Name: \(familyName)")
    for fontName:AnyObject in UIFont.fontNamesForFamilyName(familyName as! String) {
        print("--Font Name: \(fontName)")
    }
}

Swift 3

 for familyName:String in UIFont.familyNames {
     print("Family Name: \(familyName)")
     for fontName:String in UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: familyName) {
         print("--Font Name: \(fontName)")
     }
 }

Please try this code :https://github.com/zynga/FontLabel/

for checking Available iOS Fonts:

for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily){
  NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
  fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:[familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
  for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont){
    NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
  }
}
[fontNames release];

Gruber posted a link to the fonts included a little while ago: iOS Fonts

Edit: The site he links to is iosfonts.com

Answer 4

I believe those are only the fonts shipped with iOS. Any Custom fonts you need to find the respective .otf or .ttf files & include that file in your project resource.

Am saying this because, I wanted to use HelveticaNeue-UltraLight font. Its listed in iOS & you see this font option in Xcode. But upon selecting nothing happens. For this to work I had to do the above & put in HelveticaNeue-UltraLight font file.

You'll find a list of all embedded fonts in iOS that don't need any extra class to build with, here : List Of Available iOS Fonts

Answer 6

Here is the correct snippet for listing out all the fonts:

    // List all fonts on iPhone
NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];
NSArray *fontNames;
NSInteger indFamily, indFont;
for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)
{
    NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
    fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
                 [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:
                  [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
    for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)
    {
        NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
    }
}
