I agree, all paths should be relative. Try that. Also put an "answer the fontNames" at the app start up and see if all the fonts are there.

Hi Ralph. I have a Media folder which contains all assets including fonts. This folder is included in standalone settings. It works under iOS - the Livecode UI displays fonts and native web scroller using CSS displays fonts. In Android, fonts appear in UI but not in scroller. I think this is to do with the path I have set up in the CSS - it works differently on different platforms. I think I need to make the path to the fonts relative to the temp HTML file I am writing out - I can't test until Monday though. Thanks for your advice - will feed back any results. Kind regards, Paul.
