monospaced()

Returns a fixed-width font from the same family as the base font.

Declaration

func monospaced() -> Font

Return Value

A fixed-width font from the same family as the base font, if one is available, and a default fixed-width font otherwise.

Discussion

If there’s no suitable font face in the same family, SwiftUI returns a default fixed-width font.

The following example adds the monospaced() modifier to the default system font, then applies this font to a Text view:

struct ContentView: View {
    let myFont = Font
        .system(size: 24)
        .monospaced()

    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, world!")
            .font(myFont)
            .padding()
            .navigationTitle("Monospaced")
    }
}

SwiftUI may provide different fixed-width replacements for standard user interface fonts (such as title, or a system font created with system(_:design:)) than for those same fonts when created by name with custom(_:size:).

The font(_:) modifier applies the font to all text within the view. To mix fixed-width text with other styles in the same Text view, use the init(_:) initializer to use an appropropriately-styled AttributedString for the text view’s content. You can use the init(markdown:options:baseURL:) initializer to provide a Markdown-formatted string containing the backtick-syntax (`…`) to apply code voice to specific ranges of the attributed string.
