You can use NSAttributedString to do that:

let dummy = UILabel()
let theString = "this is a String"
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: theString, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont.systemFontOfSize(12.0)])
let boldFontAttribute = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(24.0)]

attributedString.addAttributes(boldFontAttribute, range: NSMakeRange(10, theString.characters.count))

dummy.attributedText = attributedString
