How to change font of UIButton with Swift

Question

I am trying to change the font of a UIButton using Swift...

myButton.font = UIFont(name: \"...\", 10)

However .font is depreca

Answer 1

You don't need to force unwrap the titleLabel to set it.

myButton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: YourfontName, size: 20)

Since you're not using the titleLabel here, you can just optionally use it and if it's nil it will just be a no-op.

I'll also add as other people are saying, the font property is deprecated, and make sure to use setTitle:forControlState: when setting the title text.

In Swift 5, you can utilize dot notation for a bit quicker syntax:

myButton.titleLabel?.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 14, weight: .medium)

Otherwise, you'll use:

myButton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14, weight: .medium)

Answer 3

this work for me, thanks. I want change text size only not change font name.

var fontSizeButtonBig:Int = 30

btnMenu9.titleLabel?.font = .systemFont(ofSize: CGFloat(fontSizeButtonBig))

Answer 4

For Swift 3.0:

button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)

where "boldSystemFont" and "16" can be replaced with your custom font and size.

Answer 5

This way doesn't work now:

 btn.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size:12)

This works:

 btn.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.init(name: "Helvetica", size:12)

Dot-notation is awesome (swift 4.2)
