but a word like ‘حمل’ not appear as in a textedit with the same font

I get data using UTF8 from sqlite

Answer 1

Does Andalus have more than one variant, e.g. Andalus Strong and Andalus Sharp? If that is the case you have to specify the name of the variant you wish to use.

Check the array returned by [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"Andalus"]
