lblTitle.font = [UIFont italicSystemFontOfSize:[UIFont systemFontSize]]; 

or

lblTitle.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:[UIFont systemFontSize]];

I want my font Bold and Italic both. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

Solution 1

try this code...

UIFont *yourFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-BoldOblique" 
                                   size:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
lblTitle.font = yourFont;

you can use also another fontName for BoldItalik like.

Optima-BoldItalic,TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT,Baskerville-BoldItalic,HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic,etc...

Solution 2

There are several font that contains Bod+Italic in themselves you can use those fonts... One frequently for an example is

lblTitle.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldItalicMT" size:16.0f];

others are :

- TrebuchetMS-Bold

- Helvetica-BoldOblique

Any one know what the System Font Bold answer is to this? I can't find where it says, "Apple System Font is ..."

The first one won't do what OP wants - the 2nd call will overwrite the first and the font will be italic only.
