Question
I am looking for a Core Text example for iphone/ipad but with little luck. Any leads would be appreciated.
Solution
I have written a small project on Github that provides an Objective-C wrapper for Core Text: https://github.com/akosma/CoreTextWrapper In particular, it takes any string and renders it over multiple pages, with multiple columns each page. Hope it helps!

You can find an example of column layout tweaked to work with iPhone/iPad here: http://foobarpig.com/iphone/coretext-example-column-layout-with-correctly-inverted-text.html
Core Text is a public framework on the Mac OS X. Any examples that work on the Mac, should be usable on the iPhone/iPad too.
I implemented a class named OHAttributedLabel to create a UILabel that can draw NSAttributedString. This class uses CoreText for the whole rendering part, you can use this as a start if needed.
