UITextView - setting font not working with iOS 6 on XCode 5

Question

I\'m using storyboards for my UI. I was previously using XCode 4.6 and released on iOS 6. I have since updated to iOS 7 using XCode 5 and updated the Storyboard to work nice

Answer 1

Swift 3 category that worked for me:

extension UITextView {
    func setFontAndUpdate(_ font: UIFont?) {
        self.font = font

        // Font doesn't update without text change
        let text = self.text
        self.text = nil
        self.text = text
    }
}
