macOS CGFontCreateWithFontName is not working for "Casual" font

[anni.saini]

Hi,

i was trying to create font using

CGFontRef cgFont = CGFontCreateWithFontName((CFStringRef)@"Casual");

This function is returning null for some fonts. Can anybody tell me what would be the probable reason for this.

I was using Mac OS X 10.5.8.

regards,
anni

You could try using "Apple Casual" instead.

BTW instead of using (CFStringRef)@"Casual" you can use CFSTR("Casual")
