Interesting.I finally tried: [NSString sizeWithFont:<>] as follows. CGSize strSize = [item.title sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:TEXT_FONT_SIZE]];
CGRect centralTitleRect = CGRectMake(TITLE_OFFSET, (rowHeight - TITLE_LINE_HEIGHT)/ 3.0, strSize.width, TITLE_LINE_HEIGHT); UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:centralTitleRect]; I'll try your method to see if I get the same effect.
