Hi Tobias,
CoreText has been supported on iOS since 3.2. The code that is released
was compiled and tested on OS X only but most of it should be applicable
to iOS. I have not investigated the differences between CoreText on iOS
and on OS X to find out where the rough edges are but the code should be
close. Nobody has really tried it much except Felipe so I'll let him
provide the details. I can confirm that coretext.c is wired into the
gradle build and that uncommenting the #if will compile the source and
get compile errors on iOS.
There is a bug in the gradle incremental compiler for native code () so
you will need this line to make sure your changes to native files get
picked up:
gradle -PCOMPILE_TARGETS=ios clean sdk
I suggest we use this list to coordinate.

Hi,
I tried to use the latest gradle based OpenJFX on iOS using RoboVM. Current
state: it fails: The reason why is the font rendering using CoreText which
currently is not possible on iOS.
Take a look here: coretext.c => #if TARGET_OS_MAC && !(TARGET_OS_IPHONE)
The alternative would be to use the T2K renderer, which is not available in
OpenJFX.
So currently we have to wait for an implementation of CoreText native code on
iOS.
Best regards,
Tobi
