Wow, it's awesome that this works! And now that I know how to set these attributes for a UILabel, I might try using some other features of SF font, such as contextual fractional forms for any fraction. But seriously, why didn’t Apple document what those stylistic alernative type attribute constants are? Are they supposed to change? Did they not know what they correspond to when creating the header? Did they not expect that developers would use this feature? I suppose if I have some time I’ll try them out and see if I can do my own documentation. For reference, here are a few different forms that I was able to create with TextEdit: http://breaqz.com/font/AlternateStylisticForms.pdf This includes examples of the following: • Vertically centered colon • Straight-sided six and nine • Open Four • One storev a (e.g. alternate lowercase ‘a’ form) • Small Capitals • Contextual Fractional Forms (fractional form for any fraction) • Monospaced Numbers Doug Hill _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
