is it true no italics for iPhone 4?

In my project, the iPhone 4 does not show italics for command 

textLabel.font=[UIFont italicSystemFontOfSize:16];

but the iPhone 3 shows italics properly.

Is it true that iPhone 4 does not support italics? If not using systemFont, can you get italics?

thanks,

Gary

  • Sadly yes, it does not seem to work for the iPhone 4. It was blogged about at daring fireball, who picked it up here.

    If I were you, the best thing to do would be to wait it out. Apple will probably fix this issue during a future iOS update.
