Custom Font Sizing in Xcode 6 Size Classes not working properly with Custom Fonts

by

Fast fix:

1) Set fonts as System for size classes

Label attributes inspector

2) Subclass UILabel and override “layoutSubviews” method like:

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
  [super layoutSubviews];

   // Implement font logic depending on screen size
    if ([self.font.fontName rangeOfString:@"bold" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location == NSNotFound) {
        NSLog(@"font is not bold");
        self.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Custom regular Font" size:self.font.pointSize];
    } else {
        NSLog(@"font is bold");
        self.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Custom bold Font" size:self.font.pointSize];
    }

}

By the way, it is a very convenient technique for iconic fonts
