Locale based font
Hi, I found out the way to show custom font. 1. First give information in info.plist, under the identifier, Application fonts resource path. 2. Add this file into the Resources folder. 3. Invoke using this method. [NSFont fontWithName:CP_FONT_NAME size:11], NSFontAttributeName, Works fine. But what I want is to use this font file only in english locale and in other locales it should fallback to the system fonts of the corresponding controls. Any pointers highly appreciable.

Re: Locale based font
I am about to play around with something similar. In my iPhone app, I have some calls with boldSystemFontOfSize. But, for certain locales, it should be a plain font and the size may need to be tweaked. I then had an idea to write a static method to obtain a font style and size based on locale. My thought was to come up with a key for each style and then have a localized property list file to store the styles for each locale. Kinda like how you often have a CSS file for each locale your web site is localized to.

Re: Locale based font
Hi Ricky, Thank you very much for your response. But can we have any way where I can find current locale is English, I mean all versions of English. This could solve my issue.
