Font Descriptors contain a description of font features that can identify a font.

public class CTFontDescriptor : IDisposable, ObjCRuntime.INativeObject

type CTFontDescriptor = class
    interface INativeObject
    interface IDisposable

Inheritance: Object
CTFontDescriptor

Implements: INativeObject IDisposable

Remarks

Font Descriptors contain a description of font features and can completely identify a font. Sometimes the description is not complete enough, and the system will pick a font that matches the specified parameters.

var attributes = new CTFontDescriptorAttributes () {
	FamilyName = "Times New Roman",
	Size = 18
};

var fontDescriptor = new CTFontDescriptor (attributes);

Constructors

CTFontDescriptor(CTFontDescriptorAttributes)	Creates a font descriptor from a set of attributes.
CTFontDescriptor(String, nfloat)	Creates a font descriptor from a PostScript name (and optional size).
