iPad fonts

Below is a graphic listing all the fonts supported by default on the iPad.  It’s a rather tall graphic, so I’ll keep the rest of this short post above it.

Here’s the main chunk of code used to generate these images:

This is the only method you need to override in your own

UIViewController

in order to get a scrollable view of all the fonts available on your device – this code works on all iPhone OS devices (so, yes, iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches so far).  Many thanks to Dr. Touch for this great post on

that helped me become less of a font newb (for example, the

leading

property of a font is basically the line height, in pixels, of a single line of text).

Happy coding!
