Question 1

How to use SwiftFontName with custom fonts in my iOS app?

Accepted Answer

SwiftFontName does not support custom fonts; you'll need to define your own string constants or use other methods for custom font names, as it only covers system fonts from iOS.

Question 2

SwiftFontName vs manually defining font constants: which is better?

Accepted Answer

SwiftFontName is better for projects using multiple system fonts and needing localization support, as it offers autocompletion and reduces errors. Manual constants are sufficient for simple apps with few fonts or when avoiding dependencies.

Question 3

How to update SwiftFontName when new fonts are added in iOS updates?

Accepted Answer

You must update the library through CocoaPods or Carthage; the author needs to release new versions to include additional font names, so regularly check for updates on GitHub or package managers.

Question 4

Does SwiftFontName work with SwiftUI's Text views?

Accepted Answer

SwiftFontName is designed for UIFont in UIKit; for SwiftUI, you can convert UIFont to Font, but native SwiftUI font handling might be more integrated and straightforward for modern apps.

Question 5

Can I use SwiftFontName in an Objective-C project?

Accepted Answer

No, SwiftFontName is written in Swift and relies on Swift-specific features like type-safe constants, making it incompatible with Objective-C projects without bridging overhead.

Question 6

How does SwiftFontName handle font weights and dynamic styles?

Accepted Answer

It provides predefined constants for specific font variants (e.g., HelveticaNeueLight), but doesn't support dynamic weight selection; you use the available constants rather than programmatically adjusting weights.
