The Bold Text accessibility feature in iOS 7 appears to have no API for detecting whether it's enabled or not.

In an app that uses custom fonts, I want to be able to set display fonts depending on whether this feature is enabled. That is, to do something like this:

    if (UIAccessibilityBoldTextModeEnabled()) {
        myTextualView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Foobar-Bold" size:myFontSize];
    } else {
        myTextualView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Foobar-Regular" size:myFontSize];
    }

If such an API call does, in fact, exist, please redirect this ticket to the API Documentation team. :-)
