Question

what is that fun in CoreText?

mc 5,426

in MAUI platform :ios.

I can use

CGContext.ShowTextAtPoint

to display characters

but what is it in CoreText?

you may say I can use NSAttributedString and use DrawString

but there is no SetShouldAntialias and SetShouldSmoothFonts in NSAttributed string

I want to set Antialas to FALSE when display characters

Hi @mc, please test the following and see if it works for you

            g.SetShouldAntialias(false);//CGContext method
            g.SetShouldSmoothFonts(false);

           UIGraphics.PushContext(g);// set the same context
            UIFont font = UIFont.FromName("ionicons", 60);
            NSString a = (NSString)"\uf30c";
            UIStringAttributes attributes = new UIStringAttributes() {Font = font,  ForegroundColor = UIColor.Red, KerningAdjustment = 3 };
 
            a.DrawString(new CGRect(80, 100, 80, 80), attributes);
           UIGraphics.PopContext();//quit
