Xcode: Font in storyboard looks different than by code

I have a storyboard with labels. The label's font is set to System 25.

I wanted to make the font size dynamic, and I set it by code now. I set breakpoints, so I know that "25" is actually chosen in my code, but the font size still is smaller than when I set it in the storyboard designer.

Does anybody perhaps spot where I might have gone wrong or any caveats that I might have missed?

//set label font size
CGFloat nFontSize;
if (bIsIPad)
{
    nFontSize=25.0;
}
else if (bIsIPhone_3GS_4_4s_Or_iPodTouch_3_4)
{
    nFontSize=12.0;
}
else if (bIsIphone_5_Or_IPodTouch_5)
{
    nFontSize=25.0;
}
UIFont *nFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"System" size:nFontSize];

captionLabel0.font = nFont;
captionLabel1.font = nFont;

It seems that "fontWithName:@"System"" is not the same as "[UIFont systemFontOfSize:nFontSize];"

The storyboard property page seems to reflect "systemFontOfSize" when it displays the font "System".

When I chose "systemFontOfSize", the results were the same as in the storyboard.

You need to connect your label to outlet (storyboard).

And after that, you set the font size for this label.
