Change “System” font in XCode / XIB

Question

When I create a new control (ie a UILabel ) in XCode 4.2, it defaults the label to Helevtica.

Can anyone tell me where this is set (I'm assuming when it says "System" font, it means for Xcode as a whole, or my entire OS).

And is this something that can be overridden for the whole Application. ie changing the setting will update all controls set to "System".

Check out the UIAppearance protocol. You can use it to define UI settings for whole classes. See this question .
