MonoTouch.CoreText Namespace

Low-level interface for text layout and rendering.

Remarks

Provides the low-level framework for high quality typography on iOS and OSX.

This framework is indirectly used by higher level frameworks like MonoTouch.UIKit, MonoMac.AppKit, MonoMac.WebKitWebKit (MonoTouch.UIKit.UIWebView and MonoTouch.CoreAnimation. Developers can resort to CoreText when they need finer control over text layout than the one provided by the high level frameworks.
