List out all font names

Thanks to Ajnaware’s Weblog I was able to list out all the font names, as shown in the attached screen dump. You should have a try too!

[Update] Please see this new post which shows improved version that also displays each font in scrollable view.

    // List all fonts on iPhone

    NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];

    NSArray *fontNames;

    NSInteger indFamily, indFont;

    for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)

    {

        NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);

        fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:

                     [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:

                      [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];

        for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)

        {

            NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);

        }

        [fontNames release];

    }

    [familyNames release];

[Update 05/04/2012] Found this web site which listed out all iOS fonts for iOS5, which you might also find it handy.
