NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myPlist" ofType:@"plist"];

// Load the file content and read the data into arrays

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];

cell.textLabel.font=[UIFont fontWithName:[[dict objectForKey:@"Font"]size:15]];

if you use custom fonts do you take [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14376941/how-to-use-custom-fonts-in-iphone-sdk) into account? — heximal, Jul 19 '16 at 09:48

The dictionary key is font and not Font. Keys are case-sensitive.

Use:

 cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:dict[@"font"] size:15];

I think your problem is with the line

cell.textLabel.font=[UIFont fontWithName:[[dict objectForKey:@"Font"]size:15]];

It might be like this :

cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:[dict objectForKey:@"Font"] size:15]];

Good Observation that one extra ] is in question. – Sagar Shirbhate Jul 19 '16 at 09:52
It must be a typo in the question, else you'd get an *unrecognized selector exception*. – Droppy Jul 19 '16 at 09:53
