Place holder font is different than the standard font

[MrPereir4]

When I try to use any of the text fields, the placeholder font is not equal to the app standard one, but when I run the app on iOS 12, works fine, the problem is on iOS 13.

Hi,

Can you please try the master version (either by downloading the code or using Swift Package Manager) and let me know if the problem persists?

I have the same issue. I updated my Podfile to

pod 'TextFieldEffects', :git => 'https://github.com/raulriera/TextFieldEffects.git', :branch => 'master'

But it's ignoring any font settings on the textfield. Can you please fix that?

[raulriera]

If the code in master is not fixing it, a PR is very welcome. I can't seem to reproduce that problem

[MrPereir4]

What is PR???

[raulriera]

PR = Pull Request, when you contribute code using this website Github

Having the same issue even on latest master branch

@raulriera please help to solve this problem. I'm on latest master branch. I'm using HoshiTextField and system font is not standard font

[raulriera]

Could someone elaborate more on the problem? I can't do anything if I don't see what is wrong, what you are doing, which branch, swift, Xcode, etc. And most importantly, make sure the demo project doesn't reflect the problem you are describing

Hello guys!
I use AkiraTextField type only so I will show an example on it.

AkiraTextField .swift
This function get in parameter for example native ".SFUI-Regular" but returns "Times New Roman" that looks not so nice in my opinion.

private func placeholderFontFromFont(_ font: UIFont) -> UIFont! {
     let smallerFont = UIFont(name: font.fontName, size: font.pointSize * placeholderFontScale)
     return smallerFont
}

I use Storyboard with added AkiraTextField on it.

User Defined Runtime Attributes setup like that:
borderColor = UIColor.clear
placeholderColor = UIColor.white
placeholderFontScale = 0.85

Maybe it can be helpful to debug this edge case.

@raulriera Having the same font issue and I think it has something to do with iOS 13 or XCode 11.2.
Maybe it is related to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58706570/how-can-i-find-the-source-of-this-font-related-coretext-warning-in-ios13

Error in the log:

CoreText note: Client requested name ".SFUI-Regular", it will get TimesNewRomanPSMT rather than the intended font. All system UI font access should be through proper APIs such as CTFontCreateUIFontForLanguage() or +[UIFont systemFontOfSize:].
