Is there any property?

What is this delphi (default?) font?

I would like to use exactely this font:
It is from a Delphi application, and I guess the programmer's didn't change the default font, but that is just a guess.
What is this font name?
Thank you!
I first thought it was either Tahoma or Segoe UI.
Tahoma is the default VCL (Delphi) font, and it was the standard Windows UI font prior to Windows Vista. These days, the standard Windows GUI font is Segoe UI.
But after carefully trying various fonts and sizes, I am positive that this is Arial. With Arial, I obtain a pixel-perfect match, even with Clear Type antialiasing.
That's an uncommon choice for a GUI font. I recommend against it.
(Clearly, the programmer did change the font from the default one.)

Is SF Compact the default system font in WatchOS2?

I just wanted to know if the system font for watchOS 2 is San Francisco Compact.
I know that if we want to download the font, we need to have a developer account and agree to the licensing agreement terms.
Yes. This is mentioned in several places on Apple's website.
The San Francisco Compact typeface is the system font for watchOS. These fonts were designed specifically for legibility on small screens.
and
The SF Compact font is the system font on Apple Watch. There are two variants of this font: SF Compact Text and SF Compact Display. When you specify the system font for text in labels and other system interface elements, Apple Watch automatically applies the most appropriate version of the font based on the point size. It also switches fonts automatically as needed.

How to render the bold/italic text with only a regular font style in iOS?

I'm going to draw the text of bold/italic style in iOS.
I know it's possible to use the various font faces such as xxx-bold, xxx-italic or .ttc font package file.
But I'd like to use a regular font file.
Is this possible? how to?
In TextEdit of OS X, it's impossible to select bold/italic style without the appropriate fonts.
But in Microsoft Office for Mac, it's possible with a regular font file.

convert color images to ttf font possible?

Can I convert color images (PNG, JPEG) to TTF font (same appearance need)?
I'm not a designer but I do have some experience with icon fonts.
Our designer created an icon font for a project. He created the icons in black, we then set the correct icon color by the .textColor property on UILabel.
So I don't think its possible to have an icon font which supports multiple colours in the font, as you would overwrite it anyway.
We were using icomoon to create the actual font. But you will need .svg files to create the font.

iOS ArialMT font size different than in Fireworks

I use the following code to set the font for further usage in various labels.
UIFont *boldFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-BoldMT" size:26];
The problem I have is that the resulting font appears to be slightly bigger than it should be, i.e. it is bigger than the normal Arial font in Adobe Fireworks.
At least from what I read Arial and ArialMT are the same fonts, but apparently that is not the case when it comes to font sizes.
Is there any ratio so that given font size for normal Arial font in Fireworks I would be able to calculate the appropriate font size to include in my code.
It can only be solved by using ArialMT fonts in Fireworks.
