NSMutableAttributedString with different fonts

Question

I have a problem with the combination of two strings:

let finalMutableString = NSMutableAttributedString()
let attributedDot = NSAttributedString(string: " ●", attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 7)])
let firstPartString = NSAttributedString(string: "Sample text", attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)])
finalMutableString.append(attributedDot)
finalMutableString.append(firstPartString)
label.attributedText = finalMutableString

And whole text has font size 7.0 not only attributedDot. Why is this how it behaves? Text's should have different sizes

Your code works fine for me. Except for the fact that `XCode` replaces `NSFontAttributeName` with `NSAttributedString.Key.font`. — Yury Imashev, Sep 23 '18 at 11:58
This project is for Swift 3 so key.font probably is not available — Amdx Rux, Sep 23 '18 at 11:59

I guess that your code work, but you think that it doesn't because font sizes look pretty much equally.

Here is what I see with your code

And that's what I see when I change size to 2 and 37

And that's your original sizes (7 and 17), but for both strings, I've set the same text.

Ok I think this problem probably exist because I use ActiveLabel pod to achive active links because with normal UILabel it works. Thanks ! – Amdx Rux Sep 23 '18 at 12:07

There is a easy way for Objective-C

NSMutableAttributedString *yourAttributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Your string text"];

[yourAttributedString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Proxima Nova" size:18.0f] range:NSMakeRange(0,16)];

range should be length of your string
