Custom Font. Keeping the font width same.
- by user338322
I am trying to draw a string using quartz 2d.
What i am doing is, i am drawing each letter of the string individually, because each letter has special attributes associated with it, by taking each letter into a new string.
The string gets printed, but the space between the letters is not uniform. It looks very ugly to read .
I read someting about using custom fonts. But i have no Idea, if I can do it!!
my code is here.
(void) drawRect : (CGRect)rect{
NSString *string=@"My Name Is Adam";
float j=0;
const char *charStr=[string cStringUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
for(int i=0;i
{
NSString *str=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c",charStr[i]];
const char *s=[str cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%s",s);
CGContextRef context=[self getMeContextRef];
CGContextSetTextMatrix (context,CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.0, -1.0)) ;
CGContextSelectFont(context, "Arial", 24, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
//CGContextSetCharacterSpacing (context, 10);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor (context, 0,0,200, 1);
CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context,kCGTextFill);
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(context, 80+j,80,s,1);
j=j+15;
}
}
In the output 'My Name is Adam' gets printed but the space between the letters is not uniform.!! is there any way to make the space uniform!!!
