iPhone - Convert CTFont to UIFont?

I am trying to convert a CTFont to a UIFont without losing any of the styles and attributes such as:

  • Font Name
  • Font Size
  • Font color
  • Underlines
  • Bold
  • Italic
  • etc

Solution 1:

CTFontRef ctFont = ...;
NSString *fontName = [(NSString *)CTFontCopyName(ctFont, kCTFontPostScriptNameKey) autorelease];
CGFloat fontSize = CTFontGetSize(ctFont);
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:fontSize];

Color and underline are not attributes of the font. Bold and italic are part of the font name.
