please tell me how to add new font to iphone xcode3.2. This functionality isn't built into UILabel/UIFont in iOS < 3.2. But there is a third-party solution you can use: FontLabel In iOS 3.2+, there's the UIAppFonts plist key ! Just do this before using it: add your font file (such as myfont.ttf ) to your project, then edit the Info.plist like so: info.plist http://cl.ly/97da7a4f67b1b81a540f/content The above methods worked for me in xcode 3.2! Thanks!: step 1: drag your font into your project (prob a good idea to not have spaces in the font name) step 2: add a row to your info.plist file like

Update 1 I found a work-around: // instead of font = [font fontWithSize:pointSize]; // i can do this and get the correct font back font = [UIFont fontWithName:font.fontName size:pointSize] I'm using Nick Lockwood's HTMLLabel class to turn HTML into an NSAttributedString that respects the styling within the HTML. For the most part, it works great. However, I'm using a custom font in my app, and for some reason, my font is always getting rendered in bold. I don't have this problem using the system fonts. I've narrowed it down to this method: - (UIFont *)font { // ** Code Path 1 ** UIFont *font =

Is it possible to have different fontsize or weight in the same UILabel? I can do it in the storyboard as Attributed label, but I need to do it programmatically. cell.lblOne.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"FontSize15:: %@, FontSize20:: %@",monkey, goat]; Edit: I saw something about NSAttributedString but I can't get it to work. foundry Take a look at my answer here: UITextView Alternative make an NSMutableAttributedString give it some attributes (applied to ranges of characters) set the label's attributedText property . NSMutableAttributedString *attString = [[NSMutableAttributedString

I am trying to layout text on a UIView. (The yellow area is the frame of the UILabel with a background color). When I use sizeWithFont I get this, which has a very large space above the letter: When I use font.pointSize i get this for "i" which is good- BUT When i use it for "p" I get the precise height but the letter is drawn in the bottom and cropped. **How can i get get the glyph only centered in the frame ? ** Thanks Shani There are a lot of properties on UIFont to help in this situation: pointSize ascender descender capHeight xHeight lineHeight basvk You could convert the UILabel to a

I created a UITextView with a font size of 14 in a storyboard and hooked it up to the detailDescriptionLabel property of my ViewController. This code is in viewDidLoad: self.detailDescriptionLabel.font=[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10]; NSLog(@"text is %@; font is %@", self.detailDescriptionLabel.text, self.detailDescriptionLabel.font); The console output follows: text is Lorem Ipsum; font is (null) Why is the font set to nil? The setFont: is working; the font does shrink. I want to get the font so after a gesture I can call lineHeight on the font. This way, I can find out which line has been

I am unable to set custom font for the UILabel in XCode. This is what I've tried: Download "JennaSue" font -- http://www.dafont.com/jenna-sue.font Open "app-info.plist" under "Supporting Files" folder Add new row in the list with key "Fonts provided by application" In this array add "JennaSue.ttf" Use it in the code like this: self.someLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"JennaSue" size:14]; And nothing happens -- the default font is visible. Why? What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it? Be sure your font is in Bundle Resources. For some reason Xcode it is not importing custom font properly
