How can I set the letter spacing and vertical spacing for a UITextView?
Trying to do it from nib if possible but if not, is there a property I can set through code?
Thank you,
Tee
There is no property within the UITextView to explicitly set the letter spacing, or vertical spacing – with the native controls it can’t be done.
If you want to do this you’re going to have to roll your own. There’s a SO thread about changing the UILabel/UIFont letter spacing which ought to provide you with a direction to go in.
With that said, I have to ask the question why you want to do this? Apple is very specific about it’s interface elements, and my thought is that tweaking a UITextView is going to be very off putting to your users.
