	Why is this being downvoted? Sure, there's "RTFM", but it is a legitimate question. The OP didn't mention where/how he/she looked, I guess that's what I'd say is wrong with it. – makdad Feb 8 '11 at 1:11 possible duplicate of UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle font size – Bo Persson Oct 14 '11 at 21:26 feedback

This question was answered here by Vladimir. Here's what he said: You can always set any font to those labels in code so if you want some guaranteed fixed values you'd better do that as size values may vary depending on many factors (cell's style, sdk version, os version etc). I've tested on simulator with 4.2 SDK version and got following results (no extra properties were set for cells): UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle: textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: labelFontSize+1 (18 px) detailsLabel: Helvetica, size: systemFontSize (14 px) UITableViewCellStyleValue1: textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: labelFontSize (17 px) detailsLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: systemFontSize+1 (15 px) UITableViewCellStyleValue2: textLabel: Helvetica Bold, size: smallSystemFontSize (12 px) detailsLabel: Helvetica, size: labelFontSize (17 px) UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle font size link|improve this answer answered Oct 14 '11 at 18:19 lillialexis 411

I'd say they'll have you're answer. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIFont_Class/Reference/Reference.html + labelFontSize is probably the one you're after. link|improve this answer answered Feb 7 '11 at 23:29 benwong 1,007139
