Troubles with changing the font size in UITableViewHeaderFooterView

Question

Here is the problem, I subclass a UITableViewHeaderFooterView and want to change the font size: ``` - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { // Initialization code self.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.8 alpha:1.0]; //the font is not working self.textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20]; NSLog(@"aaa%@", self.textLabel.font); } return self; } ``` The color stuff works fine, but the font didn't change, so I log the dequeue: ``` - (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { UITableViewHeader *headerView = [self.tableView dequeueReusableHeaderFooterViewWithIdentifier:MWDrawerHeaderReuseIdentifier]; headerView.textLabel.text = self.sectionTitles[@(section)]; NSLog(@"bbb%@", headerView.textLabel.font); return headerView; } ``` The font still goes right in here, so I log in `didLayoutsubviews`: ``` -(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews { UITableViewHeaderFooterView *head = [self.tableView heade…

Accepted Answer

It doesn't seem like the right place to put it, but you can change the font in the `layoutSubviews` method of your `UITableViewHeaderFooterView` subclass and it will apply properly.

```
- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];

// Font
    self.textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20];
}
```
