Changing label text size in code

Question

I have to adjust my label text size depending of the device (iPad, iPhone) and these orders just doesn't seem to work. I have my label declared in the interface, set on property as IBOutlet and synthesized. Then:

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Black" size:50.0];                    
label.minimumFontSize = 50.0;

The size just doesn't change. :S

Any advices?

Answer 1

It may be useful to you to use:

[label setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:35]];

or

[label setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:50.0]];

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong in your code except for the font you are using. It should be :

   label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:50];

Actually Arial Black is not supported by iphone. You can check the list of the fonts supported by iPhone here.

Answer 3

You should take a look of the fonts you can use by Default in iOS here is a link: iOS Links http://iosfonts.com/
