I have fonts defined with custom parameters:

public var suiFont: Font {
    .custom(name, size: size)
}

And then I need to use them to create UIKit's UIFont. How can I get parameters from Font struct? I found solution for standard fonts:

UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body).pointSize
UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body).fontName
UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body).fontDescriptor

but it's not suitable in my case because of my fonts was created with custom arguments. For example Font.custom("SFUI", size: 25) returns size 17.

Are there other ways to get font parameters from SwiftUI Font? How standard SwiftUI elements do it with wrapped UIKit elements?

It is better to keep UIFont as model and use it wrapped in Font where needed as shown in https://stackoverflow.com/a/64369325/12299030. – Asperi Dec 10 '21 at 11:06
Why you need to get size and name, use case? – ios coder Dec 10 '21 at 13:19

@swiftPunk, I have `UIViewRepresentable` wrapper that needs UIFont with name and size. While fonts are SwiftUI `Font` constants. – General Failure Dec 10 '21 at 13:41
