What fonts do iPhone applications support? [closed

Question

I found a list of iPhone supported font here
http://daringfireball.net/misc/2007/07/iphone-osx-fonts

But I just wanted to confirm that, can we use all this fonts in application, or we are restricted to some class of fonts.

Answer 1

I created iFonts so I could email the list to a designer. It's compatible all the way down to 3.0, so you can see what fonts are available on different versions of iOS, and you don't have to worry about whether a web page is accurate or complete. It's been tested all the way up to iOS 7.

Answer 2

There is a free iPhone app called "Fonts" that will display all the installed fonts. (To download it, click this iTunes link.)

But note that the fonts installed on your personal iPhone or simulator may not be the same as the set of fonts installed on other devices.

Answer 3

You should be able to use any of those fonts, provided you know the appropriate name. There are calls to enumerate the font families and individual fonts in those families on the phone, but a complete listing is available on this site.

Answer 4

Use the below code for getting all the fonts in system

// Get all the fonts on the system

NSArray *familyNames = [UIFont familyNames];

for( NSString *familyName in familyNames ){
    printf( "Family: %s \n", [familyName UTF8String] );

    NSArray *fontNames = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName];
    for( NSString *fontName in fontNames ){
        printf( "\tFont: %s \n", [fontName UTF8String] );

    }
}

Here's a good list of iPhone supported fonts, with their "real" names that you need to use in code: http://www.alexcurylo.com/blog/2008/10/05/snippet-available-uifonts/.
