UILabel - setting font - typeface programmatically in iPhone

Question

I have following code in my Application.

tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:label1Frame]; tmp.tag=1; tmp.textColor=[UIColor blackColor]; [tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"American Typewriter" size:18]]; tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [cell.contentView addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release]; 

Now, I need to know,

======> how to set "Typeface=bold" through code?

Answer 1

You will need to use the name of the bold font within the family. To find out if there is a bold version of American Typewriter, try outputting

[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"AmericanTypewriter"]  

to the console.

In this case, you should use "AmericanTypewriter-Bold".

[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"AmericanTypewriter-Bold"]
