I'm trying to set the font size of a UILabel. No matter what value I put though the text size doesn't seem to change. Here's the code I'm using.
[self setTitleLabel:[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320.0,0.0,428.0,50.0)]];
[[self contentView] addSubview:[self titleLabel]];
UIColor *titlebg = [UIColor clearColor];
[[self titleLabel] setBackgroundColor:titlebg];
[[self titleLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[[self titleLabel] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"System" size:36]];
Try [UIFont systemFontOfSize:36]
or [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:36]
i.e. [[self titleLabel] setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:36]];
Objective-C:
[label setFont: [label.font fontWithSize: sizeYouWant]];
Swift:
label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(sizeYouWant)
just changes font size of a UILabel.
If you are looking for swift code:
var titleLabel = UILabel()
titleLabel.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-UltraLight",
size: 20.0)
Swift 3.0
labelName.font = labelName.font.withSize(15)
This code is perfectly working for me.
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(15,23, 350,22)];
[label setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:11]];
Its BECAUSE there is no font family with name @"System"
hence size:36
will also not work ...
Check the fonts available in xcode in attribute inspector and try
In Swift 3.0, you could use this code below:
let textLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x:containerView.frame.width/2 - 35, y:
containerView.frame.height/2 + 10, width: 70, height: 20))
textLabel.text = "Add Text"
textLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 15.0) // set fontName and Size
textLabel.textAlignment = .center
containerView.addSubview(textLabel) // containerView is a UIView
For iOS 8
static NSString *_myCustomFontName;
+ (NSString *)myCustomFontName:(NSString*)fontName
{
if ( !_myCustomFontName )
{
NSArray *arr = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:fontName];
// I know I only have one font in this family
if ( [arr count] > 0 )
_myCustomFontName = arr[0];
}
return _myCustomFontName;
}
