I would like to set the font size and familyname to the titleLabel. //Helvetica Neue UltraLight
[titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue UltraLight" size:25.0f]];
This is not working.
Kindly tell me what could be wrong?
Any help will be appreciated?
the correct fontName is @"HelveticaNeue-UltraLight".
use something like this to get a nicely formatted list of available font names:
NSMutableString *str = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:1000];
for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
[str appendFormat:@"%@\n", familyName];
for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
[str appendFormat:@" %@\n", fontName];
}
[str appendString:@"\n"];
}
NSLog(@"%@", str);
this is the current list for iOS5.1:

You use wrong font name, correct one will be:
[titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-UltraLight" size:25.0f]];
You can see the list of all available font names for a given font family using +fontNamesForFamilyName: method in UIFont, e.g.:
[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:@"Helvetica Neue"]
Edit: Also mind that some fonts may not be present on all versions of iOS as Apple gradually adds (and sometimes probably removes) fonts from standard OS set.
It appears that "HelveticaNeue-UltraLight" font present in OS starting 5.0 version. If you want to use it in older OS versions you'll need to embed it to you application - check for example this answer for details how to do that
Please see List of Fonts available in iOS and use font names according this...
