In iOS, you don’t know the font file path(I mean, though you can see them at somewhere of /System, there is no API for you to get a font’s path, they may be changed in future), the way to access font is by its name eg. [UIFont fontWithName...], CGFontCreateWithFontName etc..

I need to use FreeType in my project, and I want to convert the CGFontRef to FT_Face, but as mentions above, I can’t get the font’s file path, so I wonder if there is some way to create FT_Face from CGFontRef?

    I found a solution. Read out the tables of the CGFontRef to form a font, and use the data for FT_Face. Check here: https://gist.github.com/1892760.
