availableMembers(ofFontFamily:)

Declaration

func availableMembers(ofFontFamily fam: String) -> [[Any]]?

Parameters

Return Value

The available members of family. See the following discussion for a specific description.

Discussion

Each entry of the returned NSArray is another NSArray with four members, as follows:

    1. The PostScript font name, as an NSString object.

    1. The part of the font name used in the font panel that’s not the font name, as an NSString object. This value is not localized—for example, "Roman", "Italic", or "Bold".

    1. The font’s weight, as an NSNumber.

    1. The font’s traits, as an NSNumber.

The members of the family are arranged in the font panel order (narrowest to widest, lightest to boldest, plain to italic).

For example, if you call availableMembersOfFontFamily:@"Times", it might return an array like this:

(("Times-Roman", "Roman", 5, 4),
 ("Times-Italic", "Italic", 6, 5),
 ("Times-Bold", "Bold", 9, 2),
 ("Times-BoldItalic", "Bold Italic", 9, 3)
)
