Issues with setting some different font for UILabel

Question

I would like to set the font size and familyname to the titleLabel. //Helvetica Neue UltraLight

 [titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@\"Helvetica Neue Ultr         


        

Answer 1

the correct fontName is @"HelveticaNeue-UltraLight".

use something like this to get a nicely formatted list of available font names:

NSMutableString *str = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:1000];
for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
    [str appendFormat:@"%@\n", familyName];
    for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
        [str appendFormat:@"    %@\n", fontName];
    }
    [str appendString:@"\n"];
}
NSLog(@"%@", str);
