iOS Changing the font of a button

[Cdub16]

I am trying to change the font of a title in a button.
i have tried changing it in interface builder and in my code with:

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:name size:size]

but when i run my application the text always just comes up as the default

What are name and size set to?

 

[Cdub16]

name is set to "Chalkduster" and size is 36

How have you loaded the "Chalkduster" font, have you verified the name against UIFont's fontNameForFamily, and what iOS version are you trying to test against?

In what method are you setting the font? and what is the value of button at that time?

actually i got the button thing to work i thought i had the font loaded but i didnt.

but now it isn't working for a label.

all im using is:

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"chalkdust" size:36];

the "chalkdust" worked for the button, why isnt it working for a uilabel?

Is the font name "chalkdust" (your post today) or "Chalkduster" (your post yesterday)?

 

[Cdub16]

Is the font name "chalkdust" (your post today) or "Chalkduster" (your post yesterday)?

it is chalkdust.
i downloaded another one

So,

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"chalkdust" size:36];

works but

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"chalkdust" size:36];

doesn't?

yea im pretty confused right now....

Then, that indicates a problem with your label instance variable. Tell us more about its declaration, setting, etc.

Check whether label is nil or non-nil at the time it's assigned a font. Maybe the variable isn't connected to the nib correctly, or the label.font is occurring at the wrong time.
