Name and size from NSFont

Question

i've tried to find something in the Internet, but right now I don't have an answer, so it would be great if you can help me! So far I have a NSFont object, but I would like the name (as NSString) and size of the font, so I can output that! It's like

[NSFont fontWithName:@"Menlo" size:11];

only backwards, so I get the name "Menlo" and as size 11.

Thanks for help! Xcoder from Germany

Answer 1

The name and size of NSFont are variables with setters and getters (@property) so you can easily get them:

object.fontName;
object.systemSize;

Answer 2

NSString* fontName = [*yourfont* fontName];
float fontSize = [[[*yourfont* fontDescriptor] objectForKey:NSFontSizeAttribute] floatValue];

Answer 3

I think it's font.pointSize now, not font.systemSize.

Answer 4

Fonts are just objects. They have variables like fontName and systemSize. For example if I wanted to know the font and size of a UILabel named titleLabel I would use:

NSLog(@"fontwithName:%@ size:%f", self.titleLabel.font.fontName, self.titleLabel.font.systemSize);
