UIFont

"There is a boldSystemFontOfSize and italicSystemFoneOfSize, but I can't see the way to set a font to be both italic and bold." You have to actually ask for the bold, italic version of a font. For example: UIFont *myFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-BoldOblique" size:[UIFont systemFontSize]]; To get a list of everything available on the iPhone, put this little snippet in your applicationDidFinishLaunching: delegate method and look at the log output: for (NSString *family in [UIFont familyNames]) { NSLog(@"%@", [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:family]); }
