I have a design that uses Helvetica-Bold font with a weight of bold: i'm trying to explain myself: a bold font, which can be set also to bold. But in iOS, trying to make a font bold, over and over again i found as answer to just use the bold font from a given family. And i want to put that font to bold again, to be... "bolder"?
Is this possible?

Perhaps the simplest solution for you, if you're using -drawAtPoint:withFont:
is to just call the method twice with the x-position offset by 1 pixel on the second call. It won't be perfect (the spacing might be a bit messed up) but maybe it's good enough for you if you're not doing anything too exacting?

I dont know if you can do it with the tools you have already but I do know that you can do it with FontLabel and your prepared "Bolder" Font.
So, you do a "special font" that is Helvetica in the bold level you want and embed it with FontLabel
Take a look: Font Label
