attributedText not setting with UITextView

Question

I am trying to set custom font.

Font is working with UILabel.

When I tries to use for UITextView, its not working. UITextView is taking default font.

Any idea how to use custom font for UITextView.

Code I am using is as below.

attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text
    attributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"GEDinarOne-Medium" 
    size:15], NSLigatureAttributeName: @2}];
abtUsText.attributedText = attributedString;
abtUsText.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
abtUsText.textColor = cb60756;

I am using attributedString to get working with iOS 6.

iOS 7 is giving proper font, but iOS 6 is using default font for UITextView only.

Edit 1

I am using arabic font as GEDinarOne-Medium

Edit 2

This is not duplicate of what is mentioned above as my case is with arabic font and not english font. Mentioned in duplicate works with english custom fonts only.

Answer 1

After I investigate custom font (especially arabic) is not working UITextView using attributedString, below is what I did.

I just wanted to display the text in UITextView (for About Us in my app) as it has long text and I wanted scrolling option.

Below is what I did.

1. Add UIScrollView

2. Add UILabel inside UIScrollView

3. Assign text to UILabel.

   abtUsLabel.attributedText = attributedString;

4. Make label sizeToFit

   [abtUsLabel sizeToFit];

   This is very important step, else it won't work.

5. Set scrollview contentSize as per label height.

   [abtUsScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(abtUsScrollView.frame.size.width, abtUsLabel.frame.size.height)];

Done... now if the Label is longer, we can scroll it.
