iOS: set font size of UILabel Programmatically

Question

I'm trying to set the font size of a UILabel. No matter what value I put though the text size doesn't seem to change. Here's the code I'm using.

[self setTitleLabel:[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320.0,0.0,428.0,50.0)]]; [[self contentView] addSubview:[self titleLabel]]; UIColor *titlebg = [UIColor clearColor]; [[self titleLabel] setBackgroundColor:titlebg]; [[self titleLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [[self titleLabel] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"System" size:36]]; 

Answer 1

Try [UIFont systemFontOfSize:36] or [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:36] i.e. [[self titleLabel] setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:36]];
