How do I change the font of a UILabel in swift without changing the font size?

Question

I have programatically created a label which I have set the adjustsToFitWidth to true. Now I want to change its font, but I can't do that without making the font size of the label constant. Does anybody know how I could change only the font and not the font size of a UILabel in swift?

Answer 1

Why not get the font size, and specify a new font with this value ?

let fontSize = self.label.font.pointSize;
self.label.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: fontSize)

Answer 2

You can do it like this:

label.font = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: label.font.pointSize)

This will use the same font size, "Arial" can be whatever family you want to choose.
