copied!<p>The method glyphWithName: expects a glyphName, not the character. For simple latin characters the glyphName is the same as the character – @"A". As far as I know, Kanji do not have names, although hiragana and katakana do. Kanji are simply too numerous, and many of the glyphs are variants on the same Kanji.</p> <p>So you have to use a different method with Kanji. Here is an example that works for me.</p> <pre><code>// Convert a single character to a bezier path - (UIBezierPath *)bezierPathFromChar:(NSString *)aChar inFont:(CTFontRef)aFont { // Buffers unichar chars[1]; CGGlyph glyphs[1]; // Copy the character into a buffer chars[0] = [aChar characterAtIndex:0]; // Encode the glyph for the single character into another buffer CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters(aFont, chars, glyphs, 1); // Get the single glyph CGGlyph aGlyph = glyphs[0]; // Find a reference to the Core Graphics path for the glyph CGPathRef glyphPath = CTFontCreatePathForGlyph(aFont, aGlyph, NULL); // Create a bezier path from the CG path UIBezierPath *glyphBezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath]; [glyphBezierPath moveToPoint:CGPointZero]; [glyphBezierPath appendPath:[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithCGPath:glyphPath]]; CGPathRelease(glyphPath); return glyphBezierPath; } </code></pre> <p>Use like this:</p> <pre><code>NSString *theChar = @"男"; CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName(CFSTR("HiraKakuProN-W6"), 114.0, NULL); UIBezierPath *glyphBezierPath = [self bezierPathFromChar:theChar inFont:font]; </code></pre> <p>Edit - another way of defining the font that can be localized:</p> <pre><code>CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName((CFStringRef)@"Helvetica-Bold", 114.0, NULL); </code></pre>
