Question

I am using some custom fonts in my iphone app. They are displayed correctly, but i cant change their size.

Here is how set this font for UILabel:

myLabel.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Cabin-Regular" size:18];

This label is part of uitableview cell, if that could play any role.

Label settings in IB:

I change only color, text and font in code for this label.

What could be wrong?

Answer 1

Are you sure the font is loaded correctly?

You can try:

for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
    NSLog(@"%@", familyName);
    for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
        NSLog(@"\t%@",fontName);
    }
}

This will show you all the fonts that are loaded. Make sure the same name “Cabin-Regular” is showing up exactly the same. A lot of times the font itself isn’t loaded and then the font-size won’t be used at all.
