I am trying to layout text on a UIView.

(The yellow area is the frame of the UILabel with a background color).

When I use sizeWithFont I get this, which has a very large space above the letter:

p with sizeWithFont

When I use font.pointSize i get this for "i" which is good-

p with font.pointSize

BUT
When i use it for "p" I get the precise height but the letter is drawn in the bottom and cropped.

p with font.pointSize

**How can i get get the glyph only centered in the frame ? **

Thanks

    There are a lot of properties on UIFont to help in this situation:

    • pointSize
    • ascender
    • descender
    • capHeight
    • xHeight
    • lineHeight
