I want to know is there any way to set the font of a label programmatically as I need to change the font in my app when a condition is set true. How can I do so using Apple's variety of fonts?

See [this](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1380490/730701) and [this](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1302833/730701). — Adam, Sep 20 '12 at 09:50
take a quick look at **[UILabel Class Reference](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UILabel_Class/Reference/UILabel.html)**, I hope I did't say any new things with it... — holex, Sep 20 '12 at 09:57

Make yourself a list of available fonts:

for( NSString *strFamilyName in [UIFont familyNames] ) {
  for( NSString *strFontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:strFamilyName] ) {
    NSLog(@"%@", strFontName);
  }
}

Now set Font like this:

 [yourLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"your font name here" size:fontsizehere]];

EDIT :

For example like this:

 [yourLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:15]];

//set label

label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Calibri" size:15];

//set label color

label.textColor = [UIColor redColor];

//set label colr if you have RGB value

label.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:180.0/255.0 green:6.0/255.0 blue:47.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];
