Set UIButton title UILabel font size programmatically

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:size];

should help


[button setFont:...] has been deprecated.

Use [button.titleLabel setFont:...] instead, for example:

[myButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10]];


You can also set the font size, and the font style using something like this. It's a little more than what you're asking for but hey, what the heck...

[myButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:13.0]];

And… if you're feeling frisky a list of available fonts can be found by implementing this code and then checking the output in your xCode debugger.

Code Swift 5:

func checkFontName(){
    let familyNames = UIFont.familyNames
    var fontNames = [String]()
    for familyName in familyNames {
        print("family Name: \(familyName)")
        fontNames = UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: familyName)
        for fontName in fontNames {
            print("font Name: \(fontName)")
            
        }
    }
}

Code Objective-C:

NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];
NSArray *fontNames;
NSInteger indFamily, indFont;
for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)
{
    NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
    fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
            [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:
            [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
    for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)
    {
        NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
    }
}

Objective-C:

[button.titleLabel setFont: [button.titleLabel.font fontWithSize: sizeYouWant]];

Swift:

button.titleLabel?.font = button.titleLabel?.font.fontWithSize(sizeYouWant)

will do nothing more than changing the font size.


You can use:

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];
