Different font in one Label

Question

I am using one label in navigation bar item.In that label two types of font are there.Suppose label.text = @"Topics";

In this "T" is having font Georgia and "opics" is having the font Arial.

How I will do this?

I tried with self.navigationItem.titleView but it is taking all font same type, I tried with two string with different font and append those two.But that also didn't work. Please help.

There is no straightforward way..

1) Use two UILabels, each with a different font.. Move the second one over the first based on where the first one's text ends. You can use sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode: to size of one text

2)Other option, you subclass UILabel, draw text in drawRect:, Use any logic to differentiate between 2 strings in different fonts

3) There is a third possibility..But since I never tried it, I can't give much information..May be this question might be of help..

EDIT : In iOS 6 UILabel, UITextView and other similar classes support NSAttributedString which can be used to have different font types/styles in single label text. This answer clearly explains it. So no need to add it here.

Is there any example about moving second one over the first based on where the first one's text end? — Coder221, Sep 28 '17 at 06:02

Your not going to be able to use 2 different fonts on 1 label.

I would suggest using 2 labels aligned properly to get the "1 label" look, then you can set the font for each label.

I understand that this was correct when it was written, but it's not correct now. ;] – James Webster Aug 09 '13 at 07:25
