New fonts in iOS 7

When Apple releases new versions of iOS they often add new default fonts, and iOS 7 is no different - although maybe especially notable for its thin variants of Helvetica Neue, which is one of almost 40 new font styles added in iOS 7. The following list was generated by listing the fonts on an iOS 6 device with a couple of handy methods on UIFont, doing the same on iOS 7, finding the differences with a simple Python script and then creating a simple table view which I screen shotted. I’ve also got the full lists on my GitHub account.
