Can I change the font of my UINavigationController? --> title
Click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Click on Fonts. Select a different font under Headings. That will change the font for the site title and all other headings on the site.
let navigation = UINavigationBar. appearance() let navigationFont = UIFont(name: "Custom_Font_Name", size: 20) let navigationLargeFont = UIFont(name: "Custom_Font_Name", size: 34) //34 is Large Title size by default navigation.
Hold the command key and click the text to bring up a pop-over menu. Choose Show SwiftUI Inspector and then you can edit the text/font properties.
As of iOS 5 you can change the font via the appearance proxy.

The following will set the title font for all UINavigationControllers.
NSMutableDictionary *titleBarAttributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UINavigationBar appearance] titleTextAttributes]];
[titleBarAttributes setValue:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Didot" size:16] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:titleBarAttributes];
To set the font for the back button, do this:
NSMutableDictionary *attributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] titleTextAttributesForState:UIControlStateNormal]];
[attributes setValue:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Didot" size:12] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
To set the font for the large titles available in iOS 11+, do this:
if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
NSMutableDictionary *largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UINavigationBar appearance] largeTitleTextAttributes]];
[largeTitleTextAttributes setValue:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Didot" size:32] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setLargeTitleTextAttributes:largeTitleTextAttributes];
}
for iOS8+ you can use:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"MyFont" size:18.0f],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor]
}];
Swift:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "MyFont", size: 18.0)!]
The title view can be any view. So just create a UILabel or something else where you change the font and assign that new view to the title property of the navigation item.
An example:
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 400, 44);
UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [FontHelper fontFor:FontTargetForNavigationHeadings];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
label.text = self.navigationItem.title;
// emboss in the same way as the native title
[label setShadowColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];
[label setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, -0.5)];
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;
}
