How to bold the button text in ios?

In my app I am using custom font which working perfectly fine. But I need the button text to be bold. I googled it there is only for System fonts.

Code

You could always create normal and selected state images for your buttons and use those to create the look you are trying to achieve.

After fontWithName you have to use boldSystemFontOfSize:

[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13.f]];
[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:13.f]];

Not sure about the YanaR font but if you consider Helvetica font and just wanted to set the font to plain Helvetica you would do:

buttonTitleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:20.0];

In order to make the font bold all you have to do is append -Bold to the end of the font name like so:

buttonTitleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:20.0];

You will also need to include the bold version of the font you are using, if available. It's a totally separate font. If it is available, after you include it, set it the same way you are trying but use the bold font name instead.

for example:

button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"YanaR-Bold" size:20.0];

That's because fonts don't magically make themselves bold. Bold fonts are designed separately. I'm afraid there is no answer to this question, apart from thickening the stroke of the lines, which would probably be in breach of your font agreement.
