uifont

I have a UICollectionView with cells sized to the same aspect ratio as a4 page. And with different screen sizes I would like for that text to be sized at fixed 12pt (that would be calculated to that UICollectionview cell), which would look bigger on the iPad and smaller on iPhone. So having a fixed font size isn't an option... Coding var fontSize : CGFloat = 12.0 // DEFAULT SIZE In your ViewDidLoad if UIDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .phone { switch self.view.frame.size.height { case 480: fontSize = 12.0 case 568: fontSize = 14.0 case 667: fontSize = 16.0 case 736: fontSize = 17.0 case 812:

I'm working on an app with a text field. The text wrote in this field will be printed and I have an issue with some characters like emoji, chinese characters, etc... because the font do not provide these characters. It's why I want to get all the character provided by a font (The font is downloaded so I can deal directly with the file or with an UIFont object). I heard about CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters but I'm not sure that this function do what I want and I can't get it work. Here is my code : CTFontRef fontRef = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)font.fontName, font.pointSize, NULL);

In my info.plist, I added a key "Fonts provided by application" and added EdwardianScriptITCStd.otf But, when I try to get that font, it returns nil: NSLog(@"%@", [UIFont fontWithName:@"EdwardianScriptITCStd" size:16.0f]); I printed the font families using [UIFont familyNames] and it's not there either: ( Thonburi, "Snell Roundhand", "Academy Engraved LET", "Marker Felt", "Geeza Pro", "Arial Rounded MT Bold", "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Marion, "Gurmukhi MN", "Malayalam Sangam MN", "Bradley Hand", "Kannada Sangam MN", "Bodoni 72 Oldstyle", Cochin, "Sinhala Sangam MN", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN",

I've added my custom font to UIAppFonts and it's loaded just fine: (shows up in [UIFont familyNames] ). When I manually set the font in viewDidLoad { [myLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"CustomFont" size: 65.0]]; } everything works and the font is rendered. However doing the same thing in IB doesn't (some other default font is used instead). Having to create IBOutlets for each label and fixing up the fonts manually in viewDidLoad is pretty painful. Anyone else had problems getting the custom font support to work with 3.2 SDK and IB? Opened a bug report with Apple and turns out it really is

Given a UIFont or a CTFont, how can I tell whether the font is bold/italic? Looking at the font's name won't always work. Consider the font "Courier Oblique" (which is italic) or "HoeflerText-Black" (which is bold), Neither of those contain "bold" or "italic" in their names. Given a font as a CTFontRef , the proper way to determine whether it's bold or italic is to use the CTFontGetSymbolicTraits function: CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)@"Courier Oblique", 10, NULL); CTFontSymbolicTraits traits = CTFontGetSymbolicTraits(font); BOOL isItalic = ((traits & kCTFontItalicTrait)

See following code carefully. Because it works perfectly. Try to add in your application. it will work - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // title label - tip UILabel *tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)]; tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(14.0/255.0) green:(105.0/255) blue:(128.0/255) alpha:1.0]; [tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:18]]; tmp.text=@"sagar"; tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [self.view addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release]; } Now, see following code carefully. Because it doesn't work. See there is nothing difference between
