Bold font on ios device

Question

I've made view with storyboard , using UITableView with subtitle style cell . On simulator my cells looks fine - header is Bold , and subtitle greyed with smaller font size. However on device(iphone4), everything looks like with same font, and no Bold title. Is there something that i'm missing?

Answer 1

Issue solved by compilling and running project on xcode 4 instead of xcode 5 DP. I've tried to create custom cell, but that didnt work aswell

Answer 2

I'm personally using a bolded font for bold characters, I'm no longer using weight for specify if it should display in bold.

What I mean is... if you want your text bold, use the font "Arial-BoldMT" instead of "Arial" that you will bold with parameters.

try the below code:

UILabel* label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, 200, 20)];
label.text = @"Hello";
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:12.0];
[cell.contentView addSubview:label];

UILabel* label1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 25, 200, 20)];
label1.text = @"Whats Up?";
label1.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:10.0];
[cell.contentView addSubview:label1];
