adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth is not working in ios 5 if the label is displayed in 2 lines

Question

I'm using adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth to shrink the label's size. But things were fine until I tested it in a device with ios 5. :P

self.mainTitleLabel.numberOfLines=2; 
self.mainTitleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
self.mainTitleLabel.minimumFontSize = 4;

This is working fine in ios 6 and not in ios 5.

Also in ios 5, its shrinking when I give like this,

self.mainTitleLabel.numberOfLines=1;

Why the label is not shrinking if its having 2 lines ? What might be the possible solution for this ?

Note: The text wont go beyond 2 lines as per the static data.

This property is effective only when the numberOfLines property is set to 1.

But its effective in ios 6. Why is that? Any other possible solution ? – Pradeep Rajkumar May 21 '13 at 13:31
Check the documentation on UILabel. – Inoka May 21 '13 at 13:32

I would also like to add minimumFontSize was deprecated in iOS 6 in favor of minimumScaleFactor
