Answer 1

You could implement it in code , i see you've got the answer here.

Another way : you could set attribute string directly in storyboard ,it is more simple and Intuitive.

Set Text style as Attributed first , select the text and click font in properties menu , you could set bold and font size for all the headers ,refer to here .

However , I test it in Visual Studio for mac and Visual Studio for windows .

This feature works fine with the first one, but not supported in visual studio for windows .

So you can only do it in vs for mac .

Answer 2

I have used HTML string to set bold because I have localization in my application.

public NSAttributedString ConvertBoldTextUsingHtml(string htmlString)
{
   var err = new NSError();
   var atts = new NSAttributedStringDocumentAttributes
   {
        DocumentType = NSDocumentType.HTML,
        StringEncoding = NSStringEncoding.UTF8
    };
   return new NSAttributedString(NSData.FromString(htmlString), atts, ref err);
}
textView.AttributedText= ConvertBoldTextUsingHtml(htmlString)
