How can I use the dynamic type text style "Title 1" and set the font face to the built-in font Chalkboard SE for a UILabel in a storyboard?
I need to honor the Dynamic Type size in iOS (Apple has been encouraging this since iOS 7?) I also need to use the built-in font Chalkboard SE, which is not used by default for the "text styles" fonts. I am currently using a custom font as shown in the image, but need the font to change size in accordance with the user's Dynamic Type/Accessibility Sizes preference just as all the Text Styles fonts do. The best Text Styles option is Title 1, but the font/typeface is unacceptable.
Although you can't specify both a custom font and a preferred text style via Storyboard, it's not difficult to programmatically specify a dynamic type size for your custom font:
When you receive a UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification, use the same code to update your label's font.
Try my solution without need to listening for NSNotification.Name.UIContentSizeCategoryDidChange.
Simply override traitCollectionDidChange on any UIView or UITableViewCell and update/calulate the fontsize with the similar TextStyle.
You can simply test it with any simulated Device and the Accessibility Inspector on MacOS.
override func traitCollectionDidChange(_ previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) { super.traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection) let pointSize = UIFontDescriptor.preferredFontDescriptor(withTextStyle: .title1).pointSize titleLabel.font = titleLabel.font.withSize(pointSize) }
