Add custom space to UILabel

Question

I've a weird problem that faces me. I've a UILabel contains text of multiple lines and I'm using bullet in the first line "•". But my problem is that the second line is not aligned with first character after the bullet. I measured it and found that width of the bullet is a little bit bigger tan width of normal space. Is there any trick for that?

Answer 1

the issue is concerning font attributes. Get into the difference of monospaced fonts and proportional fonts, then you will know why there's a difference between space and bullet in your font

easy solution and maybe really an option for you is to use a monospaced font.

Answer 2

Okay, I found a powerful answer by using NSParagraphStyle. https://wingoodharry.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/bullet-point-list-ios-swift/
