Question

I’ve discovered its impossible to modify the line height in a UILabel. Bummer. Also – it seems that the custom fonts I’ve chosen for use do not use their own default line heights when used with a UILable.

So – has anyone figured out an alternative? Is calculating individual lines and creating new UILabels for each line the only solution?

This is concerning dynamic text used in a UILabel with no manual linebreaks added and word wrap on btw.

I’ve recently written a class which uses CoreText to draw text with custom line height. It works almost like UILabel. Feel free to use it https://github.com/Tuszy/MTLabel
