Changing font in UITabBarItem
As per: How to change the Color of text in UITabBarItem in iOS 5
It looks like the solution may be sending the message to the appearance proxy, instead of one item:
(Deprecated in iOS 7.0+)
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"AmericanTypewriter" size:20.0f]} forState:UIControlStateNormal];For iOS 7.0+ use:
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"AmericanTypewriter" size:20.0f]} forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Swift way, for lazies:
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(10)], forState: .normal)UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(10)], forState: .selected)
Swift 4.1 and custom font
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "Montserrat-Medium", size: 11)], for: .normal)UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "Montserrat-Medium", size: 11)], for: .selected)
