I'm trying to set an attributed string to a UITextView in iOS 6. The problem is, if I attempt to set the font property on the attributed string, the line spacing is ignored. However, if I don't set the font, and the default font is used, then line spacing works.
NSString *string = @" Hello \n world";
attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:string];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
paragraphStyle.minimumLineHeight = 50;
// setting the font below makes line spacing become ignored
[attrString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20] range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];
[attrString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:paragraphStyle range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];
mainTextView.attributedText = attrString;
Any idea what's going on?
Attributed String Programming Guide:
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Palatino-Roman" size:14.0];
NSDictionary *attrsDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"strigil" attributes:attrsDictionary];
Update: I tried to use addAttribute:
method in my own app, but it seemed to be not working on the iOS 6 Simulator:
NSLog(@"%@", textView.attributedText);
The log seems to show correctly added attributes, but the view on iOS simulator was not display with attributes.
