UILabel font size?

I can't seem to modify the font size of a UILabel with the following code:

itemTitle.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:25];

As i increase the number 25 to something greater, it seems to only add a top margin to the label, which consequently pushes the text down so much, so that the text gets cut off at the bottom or completely overflows.

i have another UILabel elsewhere with systemFontOfSize 25, and it's much smaller than the itemTitle text. What's going on? Isn't 25 supposed to be an absolute value?

i am so confused on how to programmatically change font size of uilabels.

I have modified the UILabel by following code:

label.font=[label.font fontWithSize:25];

Try this and see whether is it working in your case or not???

Check that your labels aren't set to automatically resize. In IB, it's called "Autoshrink" and is right beside the font setting. Programmatically, it's called adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth.

[label setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:9]];

this works for me.

For Swift 3.1, Swift 4 and Swift 5, if you only want change the font size for a label :

let myLabel : UILabel = ...
myLabel.font = myLabel.font.withSize(25)

**You can set font size by these properties **

timedisplayLabel= [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(70, 194, 180, 60)];

[timedisplayLabel setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentLeft];

[timedisplayLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

[timedisplayLabel setAdjustsFontSizeToFitWidth:YES];

[timedisplayLabel setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

[timedisplayLabel setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];

[timedisplayLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"digital-7" size:60]];

timedisplayLabel.layer.shadowColor =[[UIColor whiteColor ]CGColor ];

timedisplayLabel.layer.shadowOffset=(CGSizeMake(0, 0));

timedisplayLabel.layer.shadowOpacity=1;

timedisplayLabel.layer.shadowRadius=3.0;

timedisplayLabel.layer.masksToBounds=NO;

timedisplayLabel.shadowColor=[UIColor darkGrayColor];

timedisplayLabel.shadowOffset=CGSizeMake(0, 2);

This worked for me in

Swift 3

label.font = label.font.fontWithSize(40.0)

Swift 4

label.font = label.font.withSize(40.0)

very simple, yet effective method to adjust the size of label text progmatically :-

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

:-)

This worked for me:

sequencerPlayLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:kTypeFont size:kTypeFontSize];

Answers above helped greatly.

Here is the Swift version.

@IBOutlet weak var priceLabel: UILabel!

*.... lines of code later*

self.priceLabel.font = self.priceLabel.font.fontWithSize(22)

In C# These ways you can Solve the problem, In UIkit these methods are available.

Label.Font = Label.Font.WithSize(5.0f);
       Or
Label.Font = UIFont.FromName("Copperplate", 10.0f);  
       Or
Label.Font = UIFont.WithSize(5.0f);

Try to change your label frame size height and width so your text not cut.

 [label setframe:CGRect(x,y,widht,height)];
