UIFont fontWithSize: changes the fontName

Question

if I'm trying to change the size of UIFont it changes the font name (ad type). before: font.fontName is equal to @".SFUIText-Regular"

execute this: font = [font fontWithSize:size];

after: font.fontName is equal to @".SFUIDisplay-Regular"

Why? How to avoid this?

Try [UIFont systemFontOfSize:36] or [UIFont fontWithName:@"SFUIDisplay-Regular" size:36]

This link may help: only change font size (and not font name)

Why do you want to avoid this? The operating system decided that the font closest to ".SFUIText-Regular" in the size you want is a font named ".SFUIDisplay-Regular". That's entirely within the rules.

Live with it.

I'd like to measure the symbols using the CoreText libraries. These fonts give me different measured width values. – Vyacheslav Mar 31 '16 at 08:17

You can go for this

label.font = [label.font fontWithSize:50];
