I was curious which fonts were shipping with iOS5. So I punched in a simple method into a new Xcode project. As it turns out, iOS5 supports more fonts that I thought.

To recreate my simple method, start a new Empty Application project in Xcode, and paste the following code into the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of the AppDelegate.h implementation file:

NSArray *familyNames = [UIFont familyNames];
for (NSString *familyNames in familyNames) {
   NSLog(@"Family: %s", [familyName UTF8String]);
   NSArray *fontNames = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName];
   for (NSString *fontName in fontNames) {
      NSLog(@"     Font: %s", [fontName UTF8String]);
   }
}

It doesn’t get any simpler. We’re making an array of objects filled with the default fontNames in the UIFont class, and outputting them to the console in list form.

Let me save you some time firing up Xcode and just click ‘Read More‘ to view them all.
