CG or Quartz 2D has limitations for drawing text. It is more of a graphics framework than a text framework. "Quartz has some limitations for drawing text." from the Quartz 2D Programming Guide the Drawing Text section - see Xcode docs. I would suggest reading that short section as it provides direction on using other technologies.
