@shannoga..I am now using this but still it is not working..and one more thing to say is that i am not showing any text in the webView,the user will enter text in it and i want that the text entered by user should have this font style.. NSString *abc=[NSString stringWithFormat:@" \n" " \n" " \n" " \n" " \n" "", @"Verdana",[NSNumber numberWithInt:20]]; [msgWebView setCustomTextEncodingName:abc]; — Nipun35, Jun 01 '12 at 07:11

I think you're approaching it the wrong way. Another way is:

[[msgWebView preferences] setDefaultFontSize:12];
[[msgWebView preferences] setStandardFontFamily:@"Verdana"];

This solution does not change the WebView font – loretoparisi Jan 10 '13 at 22:46
works perfectly (obviously if your html doesn't contain a predefined font/size in the html tags) – Kappe Mar 03 '14 at 14:20
