Please specify font-family as you normally would in standard HTML & CSS,
and include specified-fonts="true" in the Apple Display Options file in
the META-INF folder. Something like this should do the trick:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<display_options>
<platform name="*">
<option name="specified-fonts">true</option>
</platform>
</display_options>

No <abbr> abuse necessary.


Thanks,
Ted
