FontName from CTFontRef

I've a CTFontRef variable.

CTFontRef aFontRef;

Getting Size of Font was easy :

CGFloat aFontSize = CTFontGetSize(aFontRef);

Please help me in retrieving the FontName. I'm expecting the FontName to be something like MarkerFelt-Wide.

But, when I use methods like 

CTFontCopyFullName(aFontRef)

I get Marker Felt Wide

Solution

  • Looks like you want the PostScript name, which you can obtain through CTFontCopyPostScriptName().

    The PostScript name is an internal name, and is generally the preferred way to refer to a font by name.
