Never tried that component, but not being able to set a custom font for a text view is such an obvious miss for an OS that claims to be so much text oriented. I can't count the number of times i've had to bind a UILabel into my code just to set the font.

I know, UIApparence should be the way to set fonts everywhere, but that defeat the purpose of rapid prototyping IB is made for.

You may want to check the release notes of the latest iOS/Xcode beta.

(but yes, I agree, that it has taken this long is crazy)

There's a third party plugin for Xcode claims to do this called MoarFonts and asked you for $10, however I have not tried that. Runtime attributes patch wouldn't take effect instantly in IB but it works reliably well in our experience.

Can't you just use an attributed string? Xcode lets you pick a font using the standard system font picker then.

Thanks, we'll add that in the next commit. I wish there was an easier way than having to cover all of those objects.

Subclass UILabel and set it in the initializer?
