Navigation Bar Title truncated

Question

I have a navigation bar title that gets truncated if too long - based on the following code, how could the issue be fixed so that the title is displayed on 2 lines at runtime?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

    title = checklist.name

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "CollegiateHeavyOutline", size: 23.0)!,
        NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.init(red: 25.0/255.0, green: 25.0/255.0, blue: 112.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)]

}

The screenshot below show the title with text size 17 (uses 2 lines - nice!)

But the following is not so nice and the title should read 'But this one is cut off with size 18 and over

Any thoughts?

Is that what are you looking for?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let titleLabel = UILabel()
    titleLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    titleLabel.numberOfLines = 2
    titleLabel.font = UIFont(name: "CollegiateHeavyOutline", size: 23.0)
    titleLabel.textColor = UIColor(red: 25.0/255.0, green: 25.0/255.0, blue: 112.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
    titleLabel.textAlignment = .Center
    titleLabel.text = checklist.name
    titleLabel.sizeToFit()
    navigationItem.titleView = titleLabel
}

I am gonna give it a try! – Laroms Apr 08 '16 at 17:37
Nope...My title is still cut off with the 3 dots (...). Any thoughts? – Laroms Apr 08 '16 at 17:42
Well, actually, it only goes on 2 lines when the text size is under 18.0; if I set the size to 19 and above, the title gets cut off again... – Laroms Apr 08 '16 at 18:44
Can you add the screenshot to your question please? – iyuna Apr 09 '16 at 19:23
I added 2 screenshots to my question – Laroms Apr 10 '16 at 08:38
Ok. I believe text view height with font over 18 is bigger than navigation bar height, therefor it's get back to 1 line and crop the end. How would you like it to look like? – iyuna Apr 10 '16 at 20:12
Well, I guess a max size of 18 or 19 would be good, still on 2 lines – Laroms Apr 10 '16 at 21:12
