Question

I want to create a UIFont object based on a dictionary store in a plist file.

Obviously I could create my own keys and use them to put the font name, family name, and point size, then use that to create the font.

But is there a standard way to do it?

Answer 1

I’m not sure what you mean by “standard” here. There is no “standard” API to encode a UIFont as an NSDictionary. I’d suggest you create your own category methods for UIFont. One that returns a UIFont instance as a dictionary and another (class method) that creates a UIFont instance from such a dictionary.
