custom font on UIbutton title clipped on top of word

Question

I have uploaded a custom font and applied this font on the title of a UIbutton using the following code

videoButton.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"LaurenScript" size:20]; 

The problem is that the title is being clipped on the top of the first letter (see photo below). I tried the same font on the UIlabel and it works fine so it is not a problem with the font. I tried also to change the rectFrame using

[videoButton.titleLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 600)]; 

but that didn't do anything. Has anybody a clue of how I can fix this problem? Cheers

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, where a diaeresis got cut off on top of the titlelabel. I made a UIButton subclass and used this code to fix the problem:

-(void)layoutSubviews {     [super layoutSubviews];      CGRect frame = self.titleLabel.frame;     frame.size.height = self.bounds.size.height;     frame.origin.y = self.titleEdgeInsets.top;     self.titleLabel.frame = frame; }

Select button in Interface builder and check for set a vertical alignment panel in the control section Below is example:
