Font problems on retina display

Question

I'm kind of newbie in Objective-C and I need some help My problem is that I have a subclass of UITextField, and I want to set the placeholder font to be custom with this code

- (void)drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect {
[[self placeholder] drawInRect:rect withAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Georgia Belle" size:25],NSForegroundColorAttributeName:RGBA(174, 150, 108, 1)}]; } 

and I have the next issue. When I select iPad in the simulator, and I compile the program, everything goes as it should, but when I select a retina device I get the next Exception:

 [__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0].

What I'm asking is: why it works on non-retina but throws exceptions on retina, any kind of retina device.

Answer 1

Your problem is with your Font.

HelveticaNeueInterface-Regular is the System font. Like: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:25]

In the other hand I can't use RGBA(174, 150, 108, 1) I've got an issue in my code.

You should be sure that you have the font named "Georgia Belle" is in your project well imported.

Drag and drop Georgia Belle.ttf to your project

Open Info.plist and add a new line:

Open your Target / Build Phases / Copy Bundle Resources
Xcode fails here and sometimes its not adding our new font:

You have to add the font to the copy bundle resources
