An iOS class that lets you get started rendering basic Core Text in your apps. It's essentially a subclass of UILabel that allows you to set kerning, line height, & multiple fonts.
Make sure to add the Core Text framework before adding the class to your project. I built the sample project using iOS 5.1, but there's no reason it shouldn't work going back to iOS 3.2 I think [but I've only tested the class back to 4.3].
NMCustomLabel *label = [[NMCustomLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
label.text = @"Tacos are <b>delicious</b>, <i>seriously</i>";
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:12];
label.fontBold = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:13];
label.fontItalic = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-LightItalic" size:12];
label.kern = -0.5;
label.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:153/255.0 green:153/255.0 blue:153/255.0 alpha:1.0];
label.textColorBold = [UIColor colorWithRed:53/255.0 green:53/255.0 blue:53/255.0 alpha:1.0];
label.lineHeight = 12;
[self.view addSubview:label];
