Ordering the Typefaces in a Font
The docs for
-[NSFontManager availableMembersOfFontFamily:]say:“The members of the family are arranged in the font panel order (narrowest to widest, lightest to boldest, plain to italic)”
Unfortunately, it looks like this is broken on MacOS 10.15.1. Running Acorn on 10.14 produces the order as described (and as seen below with Helvetica Neue).
As a workaround, calling
CTFontDescriptorCreateMatchingFontDescriptors()with a font descriptor created from@{ kCTFontFamilyNameAttribute: familyName }should give you descriptors in the right order. Then you can get localized style names out of the descriptors.
