This was first asked in Q & A and then submitted by a premium customer. Users want to be able to set font properties on a table without needing to use a label.

See current Android behavior in screenshot in linked ticket

Note that the native feature was deprecated in iOS3. See http://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableViewCell_Class/Reference/Reference.html

As per discussion with Don in IRC #appcelerator, this will need to be documented as Android-only.

I've checked TiUITableViewRowProxy.m file and found that it uses textLabel for "title" property which is UILabel. So UILabel can have "font" property which is not deprecated. Am I wrong?

There was a pull request for the issue but commit-er does not interested in the project anymore. I've re-organized the code and made a pull request. See: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/1466 Tested with iOS 5 SDK on iPhone Simulator.

Updated pull request with latest master and made changes about rolling back to system default font if it's not given. Tested with: Titanium SDK version: 2.1.0 (04/26/12 12:38 9bd4b97) iPhone SDK version: 5.1 Here is the function test code:

   Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('white');
   
   var window = Titanium.UI.createWindow();
   
   var table = Titanium.UI.createTableView();
   
   var row1 = Titanium.UI.createTableViewRow({
   	title: 'Custom font #1',
   	font: {
   		fontSize: 12,
   		fontWeight: 'bold'
   	},
   	color: '#ff0000'
   });
   
   var row2 = Titanium.UI.createTableViewRow({
   	title: 'Default System Font'
   });
   
   var row3 = Titanium.UI.createTableViewRow({
   	title: 'Custom font #2',
   	font: {
   		fontSize: 16,
   		fontStyle: 'italic'
   	},
   	color: '#00ff00'
   });
   
   var row4 = Titanium.UI.createTableViewRow({
   	title: 'Default System Font'
   });
   
   var row5 = Titanium.UI.createTableViewRow({
   	title: 'Custom font #3',
   	font: {
   		font: 'TrebuchetMS',
   		fontSize: 20
   	},
   	color: '#00d'
   });
   
   table.setData([row1, row2, row3, row4, row5]);
   window.add(table);
   window.open();

By the way TIMOB-6504 is duplicate of this issue.
