How to Change the Font of a UIButton with Swift 😎

So, you want to change the font of a UIButton using Swift, huh? Well, have no fear because I'm here to help you out! 💪🔥

You might have tried using the .font property, but unfortunately, it's deprecated now. But don't worry, I've got a couple of easy solutions for you to try out. Let's dive right in! 🏊‍♂️

Solution 1: Attributed Text 📝

One way to change the font of a UIButton is by using attributed text. It allows you to customize the appearance of specific parts of a text string, including the font. Here's how you can do it:

let attrs: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [
    .font: UIFont(name: "YourFontName", size: 10)! // Replace "YourFontName" with the desired font name
]

let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Your Button Text", attributes: attrs)
yourButton.setAttributedTitle(attributedString, for: .normal)

By using the setAttributedTitle(_:for:) method, you can set an attributed string as the title for your UIButton and apply the desired font. 🖊️

Solution 2: Custom Button Subclass 🎨

Another way to change the font is by subclassing UIButton and creating your custom button class. This approach gives you more flexibility and reusability. Here's how you can do it:

class CustomButton: UIButton {
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "YourFontName", size: 10)! // Replace "YourFontName" with the desired font name
    }
}

After creating your custom button class, assign it to your UIButton either programmatically or through Interface Builder. Your button will now use the specified font!
