#OPCoreText
A collection of functions, categories and objects that has made my work with CoreText much easier.
A common annoyance with CoreText is having to work with CFTypeRef objects directly. Some of them are very difficult to construct, such as CTParagraphStyleRef which requires constructing a C array of buffers that are then filled in by CTParagraphStyleCreate... pretty bonkers if you ask me. So, I've added some methods to NSDictionary that allows one to create the Core Foundation object from a standard dictionary, e.g.
NSDictionary *p = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.2f] forKey:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierLineHeightMultiple]];
CTParagraphStyleRef ref = [p createParagraphStyle];
There are similar methods for converting a CTParagraphStyleRef type to a dictionary, and methods for converting between CTFontRef types and UIFont.
##Installation
We love CocoaPods, so we recommend you use it.
