Different font for MKAnnotationView

Question

On the callout bubble on the iPhone SDK\'s map, can the font be changed for the title and subtitle properties.

I am displeased with the default font shown in the callout

Answer 1

You will need to use MKAnnotationView, or subclass it, to change the appearance of the title and subtitle labels as you suggest. If you want to create more re-usable code, I'd subclass and add say properties to query and set the UIFont values to your UILabel instances.

Answer 2

Subclass the MKAnnotationView then put the category below on top of its implementation:

@implementation UIFont (SytemFontOverride)

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation"

+ (UIFont *)boldSystemFontOfSize:(CGFloat)fontSize {

    return [UIFont fontWithName:@"Your-Font-Here" size:fontSize];
}

+ (UIFont *)systemFontOfSize:(CGFloat)fontSize {

    return [UIFont fontWithName:@"Your-Font-Here" size:fontSize];
}

#pragma clang diagnostic pop
