C# Example

  //UITextView default
  var atts = new UIStringAttributes();
  atts.ForegroundColor = UIColor.Blue;
  var txt = "Text Kit.\n Lorem ipsum different font dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";
  var attributedString = new NSMutableAttributedString(txt,atts);
  
  //Multiple type styles. 
  attributedString.BeginEditing();
  attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.ForegroundColor, UIColor.Red, new NSRange(0, 10));
  attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.Font, UIFont.PreferredFontForTextStyle(UIFontTextStyle.Headline), new NSRange(0, 10));
  attributedString.AddAttribute(UIStringAttributeKey.Font, UIFont.FromName("Georgia", 20), new NSRange(23, 14));
