I want an italic font corresponding to an existing font.
I tried:
NSFontDescriptor *fd1 = [ NSFontDescriptor fontDescriptorWithName:
@"Times" size: textFontSize ];
NSLog(@"%s text NSFontDescriptor %@",__FUNCTION__, fd1);
// NSFontNameAttribute = Times; NSFontSizeAttribute = 16;
fontText = [ NSFont fontWithDescriptor: fd1 size: textFontSize ];
NSLog(@"%s text NSFont %@",__FUNCTION__, fontText);
// "Times-Roman 16.00 pt. P [] (0x1190e0f90) fobj=0x1190e0590,
spc=4.00"
So far so good.
Now I try to make the italic variant:
NSFontSymbolicTraits symbolicTraits = NSFontItalicTrait;
NSFontDescriptor *fdi = [ fd1 fontDescriptorWithSymbolicTraits:
symbolicTraits ];
NSLog(@"%s italic NSFontDescriptor %@",__FUNCTION__, fdi);
// NSCTFontTraitsAttribute = { NSCTFontSymbolicTrait = 1; };
NSFontSizeAttribute = 16;
Note: NSFontNameAttribute has disappeared
The documentation says: "Returns a new font descriptor that is the same as the
receiver but with the specified symbolic traits taking precedence over the
existing ones."
italicText = [ NSFont fontWithDescriptor: fdi size: textFontSize ];
NSLog(@"%s italic NSFont %@",__FUNCTION__, italicText);
// "LucidaGrande 16.00 pt. P [] (0x1190e0f90) fobj=0x10046adb0,
spc=5.06"
This is comple nonsense: Lucida Grande is not italic and does not have an
italic variant (only normal and bold).
I would have expected something like Times-Italic.
So: how to get an italic variant to a given font without hardcoding font names?
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
