How can I get the font size and font name of a UILabel?

Solution 1:

Add a property to your view controller's .h file:

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label;

Link the label to this IBOutlet under "File's Owner" outlets in Interface Builder. If not using ARC, make sure you release it in -dealloc

- (void)dealloc
{
    [self.label release];
    [super dealloc];
}

Then to get the font name and size all you need is

NSString *fontName = self.label.font.fontName;
CGFloat fontSize = self.label.font.pointSize;

Swift:

var currentFontSize = button.titleLabel?.font.pointSize
