Custom Font Sizing in Xcode 6 Size Classes not working properly with Custom Fonts

Question

Answer 1

Still no signed right answer. This code works fine for me. You must disable font size for size classes in interface builder first. In IB you can use custom font.

- (void) traitCollectionDidChange: (UITraitCollection *) previousTraitCollection {
    [super traitCollectionDidChange: previousTraitCollection];

    if ((self.traitCollection.verticalSizeClass != previousTraitCollection.verticalSizeClass)
        || self.traitCollection.horizontalSizeClass != previousTraitCollection.horizontalSizeClass) {

         self.textField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:textField.font.fontName size:17.f];

    }
}

Fast fix:

1) Set fonts as System for size classes

2) Subclass UILabel and override "layoutSubviews" method like:

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
  [super layoutSubviews];

   // Implement font logic depending on screen size
    if ([self.font.fontName rangeOfString:@"bold" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location == NSNotFound) {
        NSLog(@"font is not bold");
        self.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Custom regular Font" size:self.font.pointSize];
    } else {
        NSLog(@"font is bold");
        self.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Custom bold Font" size:self.font.pointSize];
    }

}

By the way, it is a very convenient technique for iconic fonts
