My basic need is that I have unicode symbols which compose to a marked musical note. I'd like that note to be rotated upside down. Obviously, I could do this by sticking each into a View of some sort, and applying rotation effect. Indeed, I've done this for the part of my app where these notes are the labels of Buttons. However, the results of pressing the buttons need to be displayed, and on most of my app, this is a simple String. However, I can find no way to rotate individual glyphs of a String. And I'm not keen to write a compositor to layout View like glyphs in a String. Is there a way to make a font by finding individual glyphs, doing the transform, and packaging them into a new specialized font, without needed to use an external Font making application?

During editing in Pages (or Word) I am getting these glitches (see attachment). Started after the last update to Mac OS 26.3 (beta) Also removed 2 recent instalments (Blackhole audio driver and kDrive/Infomaniak, but trouble is still there. 27" iMac 2020 (Intel) i7 3,8 Ghz AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB 24 GB RAM macOS Tahoe 26.3 (=beta) Tried restart in safe mode, checked fonts. Talked to aissistent to get a solution, but no ...) Thx for any advice, Pieter (not a developer so please kee pit simple 🙏🏻)

We have crash reports as shown below that we haven't yet been able to repro and could use some help deubgging. My guess is that the app is giving a label or text view an attributed string with an invalid attribute range, but attributed strings are used in many places throughout the app, and I don't know an efficient way to track this down. I'm posting the stack trace here in hopes that someone more familiar with the internals of the system frameworks mentioned will be able to provide a clue to help narrow where I should look.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to register fonts system-wide using CTFontManagerRegisterFontURLs with the .persistent scope. The fonts are delivered through Apple-Hosted Background Assets (since On-Demand Resources are deprecated). Process-level registration works perfectly, but persistent registration triggers a system “Install Fonts” prompt, and tapping Install causes the app to crash immediately. I’m wondering if anyone has successfully used Apple-Hosted Background Assets to provide persistent, system-wide installable fonts, or if this is a current OS limitation/bug. What I Expect Fonts delivered through Apple-Hosted Background Assets should be eligible for system-wide installation Tap “Install” should install fonts into Settings → Fonts just like app-bundled or ODR fonts App should not crash Why This Matters According to: WWDC 2019: Font Management and Text Scaling Developers can build font provider apps that install fonts system-wide, using bundled or On-Demand Resources. WWDC 2025: Discover Apple-Hosted Background Assets On-Demand Resources are deprecated, and AHBAs are the modern replacement. Therefore, persistent font installation via Apple-Hosted Background Assets appears to be the intended path moving forward. Question Is this a known limitation or bug in iOS? Should .persistent font installation work with Apple-Hosted Background Assets? Do we need additional entitlement, manifest configuration, or packaging rules? Any guidance or confirmation from Apple engineers would be greatly appreciated. Additional Info I submitted a Feedback including a minimal reproducible sample project: FB21109320

Hi, I am developing an OpenType font with the following cursive feature. feature curs { lookup cursivejoinrtl; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag set between Hah, Meem, Yeh and final Meem lookup rehwawcursive; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag clear between Waw and Hah } curs; Here is the rendering of the word وحميم in TextEdit. Using HarfBuzz I got the following result. The same rendering problem occurs when using Safari. It seems that is related to Core Text. I reported the issue to Feedback Assistant over a year ago but haven't had a response yet. So I'm posting the problem on this forum. Any support on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

When drawing multiline text using Core Text (by preparing a paragraph and issuing a call to CTDrawFrame): if truncation is enabled via a paragraph setting (spec=kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierLineBreakMode and value=kCTLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle), and if one of the lines to render contains a line with spaces only (codepoint=U+0020), and if the available width for rendering is less than the natural width of the line containing only spaces, then the rendering is incomplete, all content in the lines following the spaces is omitted. Many other codepoints cause the same problem: tabs (U+0009), no-break spaces (U+00A0), control characters ... The issue is quite severe because the rendering can break with a simple ASCII input ! Here is a recording with a yellow text background to help see the spaces : To reproduce : CGContextRef ctx = [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] CGContext]; // String to display: 3 lines, the middle one contains only spaces (40) CFStringRef str = CFSTR("Hello World!\n \nThis is a multiline example with a long line."); // Font used for rendering CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName(CFSTR("Helvetica"), 20, nullptr); // Paragraph style with middle truncation CTLineBreakMode lineBreak = kCTLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle; CTParagraphStyleSetting settings[] = { { kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierLineBreakMode, sizeof(CTLineBreakMode), &lineBreak } }; CTParagraphStyleRef paragraphStyle = CTParagraphStyleCreate(settings, 1); // Prepare text attributes NSDictionary *attrs = @{ (__bridge id)kCTFontAttributeName : (__bridge id)font, (__bridge id)kCTForegroundColorAttributeName : (__bridge id)[NSColor blackColor].CGColor, (__bridge id)kCTBackgroundColorAttributeName : (__bridge id)[NSColor yellowColor].CGColor, (__bridge id)kCTParagraphStyleAttributeName : (__bridge id)paragraphStyle, }; NSAttributedString *attrStr = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:(__bridge NSString*)str attributes:attrs]; // Create framesetter CTFramesetterRef fs = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString((CFAttributedStringRef)attrStr); CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable(); CGPathAddRect(path, nullptr, self.bounds); CTFrameRef frame = CTFramesetterCreateFrame(fs, CFRangeMake(0, 0), path, nullptr); // Draw the paragraph CTFrameDraw(frame, ctx); This seems like a bug in Core Text, unless I was missing some additional parameter to specify before calling CTFrameDraw()?

Hi! I am adding MacOS to a SwiftUI based multiplatform app in XCode, and have noticed an effect on the OTF font I am using. When started for a MacOSX target, the font looks a bit fuzzy, or too bold for the same display: Above is the display running in an iPhone 13 mini simulator, below the macOS version running for the "My Mac" target. The font is in both cases just fetched with static let tkDisplayFont = Font.custom("Segment7Standard", size: 38) Same applies in dark mode: This makes the numbers and especially the decimal point a bit harder to read. The same happens with the system font, but it is not such a problem there: I guess this is handled a bit differently between UIFont and NSFont underneath. Is there a way to tell the font to behave the same way as on iOS?

Hi everyone, (you can answer in french) I’m french-rookie in xcode, and I have a problem: I’m trying to choice my custom font to add it in my Main.storyboard button, but it not works. I have my « Font provided by application » line in my Info.plist, with the name of my font in [0] (See images below) When I’m on storyboard button, I chose « custom » in font selector, then display font list but my custom font doesn’t appear. I already tried to install the font in my mac, but still stucked, nothing change 😭 Could you help me please? Thanks a lot (I specify that I scrupulously followed the way of doing explained on the Apple official page: Adding a Custom Font to Your App )

Hi, I wanted to know what is the best way to detect whether a part of string has an unavailable character, '□' (tofu box or last resort character). So far it seems to be that we will have to parse all the strings and individually check for each character and whether or not it is a part of the Unicode Scalar. And since we are a business application that deals with a lot of data as strings, this will be rather performance heavy. So wanted to know if there were any other better or more efficient ways to go about this?

Hello everyone, I am having an issue where the attributed text that I have in my UITextView is not scaling dynamically with phone text size, whenever I remove the attributed text logic, it scales fine, however, with it, it stays at a set font size. struct AutoDetectedClickableDataView: UIViewRepresentable { let text: String @Binding var height: CGFloat func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView { let textView = UITextView() textView.dataDetectorTypes = [.phoneNumber, .address, .link] textView.isEditable = false textView.isScrollEnabled = false textView.backgroundColor = .clear textView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body) /*UIFontMetrics(forTextStyle: .body).scaledFont(for: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16.0)) */ textView.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true textView.textContainer.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping textView.textContainerInset = .zero textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0 textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false textView.setContentCompressionResistancePriority(.defaultLow, for: .horizontal) textView.setContentHuggingPriority(.defaultHigh, for: .horizontal) return textView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) { let attributed = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text, attributes: [ .font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body) ]) let detector = try?

(EN): After upgrading to macOS 15+, the system contains two incompatible versions of the PingFang (苹方) font: 1. A system-provided version (/System/Library/Fonts/PingFang.ttc) 2. A user-installed version via Font Book (located in ~/Library/Fonts or /Library/Fonts) When a user installs or removes the PingFang font via Font Book after the app starts, font resolution may switch, causing garbled text in newly opened windows or views. This issue did not occur in macOS 13 or 14, and seems specific to how macOS 15+ handles system and user font overlays.

I'm an iOS developer, and I've been testing our app in iOS 18.0 Beta. I noticed that there's a problem with the font rendering, and after troubleshooting, I've found out that it's caused by the removal of the PingFang.ttc font in 18.0. I would like to ask the reason for removing this font file and which font should be used to display Chinese in the future? My test device is an iPhone 11 Pro and the system version is iOS 18.0 (22A5297). I have also tested Beta 1 and it has the same issue. In previous versions of the system, the PingFang font is located in this directory /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport/PingFang.ttc. But in iOS 18.0, the font file in this directory has become Kohinoor.ttc, and I've tested that this font can't display Chinese either. I traversed the following system font directories and could not find the PingFang.ttc font file. /System/Library/Fonts/AppFonts /System/Library/Fonts/Core /System/Library/Fonts/CoreAddition /System/Library/Fonts/CoreUI /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport /System/Library/Fonts/UnicodeSupport /System/Library/Fonts/Watch Looking for answers, thanks for the help!
