UITextView does not support text attributes. You can use UIWebview with some html to do this (easy way) or write your own text field using Coretext and NSAttributedString. This site has pretty detailed information about what follows: http://www.raywenderlich.com/4147/how-to-create-a-simple-magazine-app-with-core-text

TextView does not support underline text because it has one font behavior and does not support multiFont and text attributes. You can use the webview inside the text view for the RTF file. Try this link, it has a lot of HTMl, which is easy to understand. http://kiefermat.com/2011/09/30/using-uiwebview-for-displaying-rich-text/
