Under The Bridge

Here’s a useful code snippet for the iPhone programmer –how to list available fonts on the iPhone:

        // Get all the fonts on the system
	NSArray *familyNames = [UIFont familyNames];
	for( NSString *familyName in familyNames ){
		printf( "Family: %s \n", [familyName UTF8String] );
		NSArray *fontNames = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName];
		for( NSString *fontName in fontNames ){
			printf( "\tFont: %s \n", [fontName UTF8String] );
		}
	}

Here’s a list generated by the above on the iPod touch 2.0 firmware, which should be a pretty much guaranteed baseline for what should always be available on any device in the foreseeable future:
