What fonts do iPhone applications support?

Question

Hi,

I found a list of iPhone supported font here
http://daringfireball.net/misc/2007/07/iphone-osx-fonts

But I just wanted to confirm that, can we use all this fonts in application, or we are restricted to some class of fonts.

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should be able to use any of those fonts, provided you know the appropriate name. There are calls to enumerate the font families and individual fonts in those families on the phone, but a complete listing is available in this blog post.

Answer 2

There is a free iPhone app called "Fonts" that will display all the installed fonts. (To download it, click this iTunes link.)

Answer 3

Here's a good list of iPhone supported fonts, with their "real" names that you need to use in code: http://www.alexcurylo.com/blog/2008/10/05/snippet-available-uifonts/.
