Several posts have noted difficulties with getting an exact height out of CTFramesetterSuggestFrameSizeWithConstraints, and here, (framesetter post) , @Chris DeSalvo gives what looks like the definitive fix: add a paragraph style setting with the correct line spacing adjustment. DeSalvo gets his “leading” by removing UIFont’s ascender and descender from its lineHeight. I wondered how that would compare to CTFontGetLeading . I worked with fonts created like this: CTFontRef fontr = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)@"Helvetica Neue", 16.0f, NULL); UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica

I have a UILabel, his text size has the property title.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES; that prevents me from using standard methods to resize the UILabel. I read on another post here that I'm supposed to use the function sizeWithFont:minFontSize:actualFontSize:forWidth:lineBreakMode from this answer: How to figure out the font size of a UILabel when -adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth is set to YES? Now, i can't figure out how to make it work.. this is the actual code UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Marker Felt" size:200]; UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0,

I'm trying out developing for Swift, it's going pretty well. One of the issues I'm having is finding out how to stylize fonts programmatically in the language. For example in this label I wrote the code below for, how can I make it Helvetica Neue Ultralight for example? label.font = UIFont (name: "Helvetica Neue", size: 30) KRUKUSA I am assuming this is a custom font. For any custom font this is what you do. First download and add your font files to your project in Xcode (The files should appear as well in “Target -> Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources”). In your Info.plist file add the key

i already know how to load a custom font to my project in iPhone App from here I want to ask if there is a way to do this from code? My problem is that I have a resource folder in my app, i have a font file name, lets call it " myfont.ttf ". I want to grab a ttf file and put it to plist file from code , and what's more i want to know the display name for fontWithName:size: method. There is a way to achieve this? bontoJR Yes you can. But you've to work a lot with CoreText and/or CoreGraphics. There's a nice class from Zynga that could help you in doing this: https://github.com/zynga/FontLabel

I am struggling to understand exactly what the point size in UIFont means. It's not pixels and it doesn't appear to be the standard definition of point which is that they relate to 1/72th inch. I worked out the pixel size using -[NSString sizeWithFont:] of fonts at various sizes and got the following: | Point Size | Pixel Size | | ---------- | ---------- | | 10.0 | 13.0 | | 20.0 | 24.0 | | 30.0 | 36.0 | | 40.0 | 47.0 | | 50.0 | 59.0 | | 72.0 | 84.0 | | 99.0 | 115.0 | | 100.0 | 116.0 | (I did [@"A" sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:theSize]] ) And looking at the 72.0 point size, that is not
