UILabel+FontName

UILabel, by default, does not have the ability to globally customize font name, meaning no UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR for that. This category enables you to do just that.

Usage

• Copy the files to your project and import them as needed

• in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method (or wherever you want) do this:

	[[UILabel appearance] setFontName:@"AvenirNext-Medium"];
	[[UILabel appearance] setBoldFontName:@"AvenirNext-DemiBold"];

The result? All the UILabels in your app, that use systemFont will now use AvenirNext-Medium, while all those that use boldSystemFont will use the DemiBold weight. The best part is that if you have set a specific font in Interface Builder, it will be left alone. If you want to override even that, then you should use:

	[[UILabel appearance] forceFontName:@"AvenirNext-Medium"];

And that's it.
