[button setFont:...] has been deprecated.

Use [button.titleLabel setFont:...] instead, for example:

[myButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10]];

You can also set the font size, and the font style using something like this. It's a little more than what you're asking for but hey, what the heck...

[myButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:13.0]];

And… if you're feeling frisky a list of available fonts can be found by implementing this code and then checking the output in your xCode debugger.

Code Swift 5:

func checkFontName(){
    let familyNames = UIFont.familyNames
    var fontNames = [String]()
    for familyName in familyNames {
        print("family Name: \(familyName)")
        fontNames = UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: familyName)
        for fontName in fontNames {
            print("font Name: \(fontName)")
            
        }
    }
}

Code Objective-C:

NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];
NSArray *fontNames;
NSInteger indFamily, indFont;
for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)
{
    NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
    fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
            [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:
            [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
    for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)
    {
        NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
    }
}

Objective-C:

[button.titleLabel setFont: [button.titleLabel.font fontWithSize: sizeYouWant]];

Swift:

button.titleLabel?.font = button.titleLabel?.font.fontWithSize(sizeYouWant)

will do nothing more than changing the font size.

You can use:

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];

Swift 4

button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "Font_Name_Here", size: Font_Size_Here)

Objective-c

[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@“Font_Name_Here” size: Font_Size_Here]];

Example:

Font_Name = "Helvetica"

Hope it helps.

button.titleLabel.font = <whatever font you want>

For the people wondering why their text isn't showing up, if you do

button.titleLabel.text = @"something";

It won't show up, you need to do:

[button setTitle:@"My title" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; //or whatever you want the control state to be

This way you can set the fontSize and can handle it in just one class.

1. Created an `extension` of `UIButton` and added following code:

- (void)awakeFromNib{

    [super awakeFromNib];

    [self setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [self.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"font" 
                                     size:self.titleLabel.font.pointSize]];
    [self setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];
}

2.1 Create `UIButton` inside Code

Now if you create a UIButton inside your code, #import the extension of yourUIButton` and create the Button.

2.2 Create Button in `Interface Builder`

If you create the UIButton inside the Interface Builder, select the UIButton, go to the Identity Inspector and add the created extension as class for the UIButton.

To support the Accessibility feature in UIButton

extension UILabel
{
   func scaledFont(for font: UIFont) -> UIFont {
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            return UIFontMetrics.default.scaledFont(for: font)
        } else {
            return font.withSize(scaler * font.pointSize)
        }
    }
    func customFontScaleFactor(font : UIFont) {
        translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

         self.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true
         self.font = FontMetrics.scaledFont(for: font)
    }
}

You can can button font now.

UIButton().titleLabel?.customFontScaleFactor(font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12))
