Hi, Correct me if I'm wrong, to use UIWhatever or NSWhatever we will need Objective-C (or use the ugly objc_msgSend). That is more work as we don't have Objective-C in native font code. Besides, creating a Button requires, usually, a lot more boilerplate code. We will also have to link to UIKit frameworks, etc.
Now, creating a CTFont using CTFontCreateUIFontForLanguage(kCTFontPushButtonFontType) would be a very easy change. Oldrich, could you please prepare a table with the fontSize for all values on CTFontUIFontType for MacOSX and iOS ?
