Default UIFont size and weight but also support preferredFontForTextStyle

If I have my own group of UIFonts with different sizes and weights, for example:



let customFont03 = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 40, weight: .thin)


How can I support Dynamic Type while still preserving my custom size and weight as a default standard and scaling that depending on how the user selects accessibility sizes?



I'm not sure that preferredFont(forTextStyle:) is what I want because it only accepts a UIFont.TextStyle and I don't want to lock customFont03 in as a .body or .headline etc...

  • What traits do you want to keep from the preferredFont and what traits do you want to override with your own setup?

  • I want size 40 and weight thin to be the default, but if the user changes the settings to anything other than the default the weight and size will scale appropriately.

The default standard text style is .body so, if you want to preserve your custom size as the default standard while supporting the Dynamic Type, you should define and adapt the keys fontName and fontSize to your custom size in a style dictionary.



Using the Dynamic Type means using the text styles. If you want specific font, you must define it in a native text style so that it's perfectly and automatically handled by the system.
