familyNames

Returns an array of font family names available on the system.

Declaration

class var familyNames: [String] { get }

Return Value

An array of NSString objects, each of which contains the name of a font family.

Discussion

Font family names correspond to the base name of a font, such as Times New Roman. You can pass the returned strings to the fontNames(forFamilyName:) method to retrieve a list of font names available for that family. You can then use the corresponding font name to retrieve an actual font object.
