Setting UILabel - Font through code generates error


See following code. Because it works perfectly.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// title label - tip
UILabel *tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)]; 
tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(14.0/255.0) green:(105.0/255) blue:(128.0/255) alpha:1.0];
[tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:18]]; tmp.text=@"sagar";
tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [self.view addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release];
}

Now, see following code. Because it doesn't work. See there is no difference between both of these code.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// title label - tip
UILabel *tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)]; 
tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(14.0/255.0) green:(105.0/255) blue:(128.0/255) alpha:1.0];
[tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Black" size:18]]; tmp.text=@"sagar";
tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; [self.view addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release];
}

I have just mentioned #Arial Black# instead #Arial#.

I would like to know why it isn't working.

How many different kind of font does iPhone support?

Is there any list?

How to set a font name to a UILabel or to any control ? (font which has space within there name)


Solution

  • Here is a list of fonts available in the iPhone OS. It would seem Arial Black is not among them.
