What is a monospace font in iOS?

Historic question 10+ yrs old. (UIFont.monospacedSystemFont now common.)

I want a monospace font for my UILabel in my iOS application.

Unfortunately, I could not find one. Even "American Typewriter" was not actually monospaced. What is a monospace font available in XCode?

Solution

  • Looking at an old listing of fonts shipped with iOS I see several one monospace fonts.

    (eg. Andale Mono, Monaco, Courier New)

    For 2018 it's only Menlo and Courier.
