I had used custom fonts in my project earlier. Just you have to add the font.tff file in your project and set your font with setFont method

What you're asking about, with that particular font, is that it aligns too low on the Y axis instead of being in the vertical center of the label. Some solutions:

  1. get a font manager and fix the font by hand
  2. adjust the UILabel instances or a UILabel subclass to push it up higher than it is. You could do this by intercepting a setFrame call, for instance.

As far as I can see, UIFont does not carry that information with it at all. It might, though: you can check some of the read-only properties of the font.

With that said, however, you still can't set properties on a font, so you cannot adjust it in this way.

try this..

UILabel *testLabel    = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(148, 142, 130, 25)];
[testLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"DBLCDTempBlack" size:20]];
[testLabel setText:@"MY Text"];
[testLabel setTextColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];
[testLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[testLabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
