Specifying Font for iPhone/iPad

I have the retina specifications for fonts on an app. If I divide them by 2, I get the non-retina font sizes. Should I provide the app with the non-retina sizes, and it will automatically scale it for retina? Or do I need to provide both?

Thanks,

  • I think all the fonts in iOS is TrueType and will auto fit in both low resolution and retina display.

    You should always use the unit of points to measure the UI elements (e.g. font size). And iOS would scale 1 point to 2 pixels in retina display.
