ios - Change font size of UISegmentedControl

Question

Can anyone please tell me how can I change the font type and size of UISegmentedControl?

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue. This code sets the font size for the entire segmented control. Something similar might work for setting the font type. Note that this is only available for iOS5+

Obj C:

UIFont *font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12.0f];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font
                                                       forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:attributes 
                                forState:UIControlStateNormal];

EDIT: UITextAttributeFont has been deprecated - use NSFontAttributeName instead.

EDIT #2: For Swift 4 NSFontAttributeName has been changed to NSAttributedStringKey.font.

Swift 5:

let font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font: font], for: .normal)

Swift 4:

let font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.font: font],
                                        for: .normal)

Swift 3:

let font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: font],
                                        for: .normal)

Swift 2.2:

let font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(16)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: font], 
    forState: UIControlState.Normal)
