Thanks. That did it. I just needed a display name. I used the following
when loading the picker view:
- (NSString*)styleNameForIndex:(NSUInteger)index
inFontFamily:(NSString*)famName {
NSString* fontName = [[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:famName]
objectAtIndex:index];
CTFontRef fontRef = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)fontName, 0.0,
NULL);
CFStringRef style = CTFontCopyName(fontRef, kCTFontStyleNameKey);
CFRelease(fontRef);
return [(NSString*)style autorelease];
}
My first shot at a FontPicker subclass of UIPickerView was almost as wide as
the iPad. After moving to a two-line UILabel and using the short style
names, I've got it slimmed down to being usable on an iPhone.
BTW, general info in case anybody is interested -- If you are going to use
dependent columns in a UIPickerView, the only way I could figure out to do
it is to use a timer to poll it for changes in the primary column so you can
reload the dependent column.
