I have the ttf file but am not sure how to change the font for the RSS items. How can you change the system font for the app? Can you set specific font types per screen or for the whole app?

In a table cell? cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"SmugFont" size:17.0]; Just google the object type (UILabel, UITableViewCell, etc) and "Font (Type, Style, Size...)" and there is usually a quickie fix on Stack Overflow.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	06/03/13 11:56 PM (12 years ago) Yeah - the tricky thing here is that the rd_simplerss plugin (assuming that's what you're using) doesn't have a custom cell class. Instead, it makes use of the BT_cell_menuList class. In the related .m file, you'll see this around line 313: //set title [titleLabel setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:titleFontSize]]; You can change the font there using Smug's method. BUT...it will also change the font for any menu plugins that make use of the BT_cell_menuList class. I think that's just the "menu simple" plugin and the "circle view" plugin. But, there could be another one or two I'm missing. Comments Yeah - the tricky thing here is that the rd_simplerss plugin (assuming that's what you're using) doesn't have a custom cell class.
