How Does the System Select the Appropriate Font Weight Using kCTFontWeightTrait?

19 views Asked by At

When specifying font weights with kCTFontWeightTrait in Core Text (iOS), how does the system choose the correct font weight, especially for weights not explicitly available in a font family (e.g., Thin, UltraLight, UltraBlack)?

  • Selection Process: How is the font variant determined for weights that fall between available font family weights?

  • Missing Weights: For weights absent in the font family, does the system simulate the weight (e.g., "fake" bold/thin), or does it default to the nearest available weight?

  • Best Practices: Any recommended practices for ensuring accurate representation of desired font weights with kCTFontWeightTrait, especially in custom fonts?

Insights into how kCTFontWeightTrait impacts font rendering and selection would be very helpful.
