I am using a custom font applied to a CATextLayer. I am using the tutorial and sample code found here. http://www.freetimestudios.com/2010/09/13/custom-fonts-on-the-ipad-and-ios-4/
However, every so often, I get the following error. Nothing in particular seems to trigger it. Can someone shed some light as to what this means? What to check for?
CoreText: Invalid 'kern' Subtable In CTFont <name: Intellect, size: 20.000000, matrix: 0x0>
CTFontDescriptor <attributes: <CFDictionary 0xac07a80 [0x38295d98]>{type = mutable, count = 1, capacity = 3, pairs = (
0 : <CFString 0x3833f750 [0x38295d98]>{contents = "NSFontNameAttribute"} = <CFString 0x159af0 [0x38295d98]>{contents = "Intellect"}
I load the font using the following code. This code is taken from the project in the link above.
- (CTFontRef)newCustomFontWithName:(NSString *)fontName
ofType:(NSString *)type
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes
{
NSString *fontPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:fontName ofType:type];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:fontPath];
CGDataProviderRef fontProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((CFDataRef)data);
[data release];
CGFontRef cgFont = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(fontProvider);
CGDataProviderRelease(fontProvider);
CTFontDescriptorRef fontDescriptor = CTFontDescriptorCreateWithAttributes((CFDictionaryRef)attributes);
CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithGraphicsFont(cgFont, 0, NULL, fontDescriptor);
CFRelease(fontDescriptor);
CGFontRelease(cgFont);
return font;
}
