Courses Plus Student 32 PointsHey, When the view loads, the elements in the array are loaded into the textView, I want the text to be the font I chose. So basically when the text loads it must be a different font, size and colour.

Courses Plus Student 32 Pointsi did that, but when the text loads from the string it appears in the default size, colour and font.

var font: UIFont!
var textColor: UIColor!
I'll have a mess about with these to see if I can get them to work.

How do you want to change these properties? In response to an event, such as a button click?
