Hi Callum,
The iPad iOS is capable of reading the font in iPad Mail, but Pages App on iPad is not capable of using the font, as it doesn’t have access to that font Yes, “custom fonts are defined by the app” as mentioned in my previous reply. Check out iOS Apps Support: <http://www.apple.com/support/ios/apps/> Cheers, Ronni On 23/10/2011, at 11:17 AM, Callum Prior wrote: > Hi Ronni, > > The font I'm using is called JSL Ancient. > > The limited range of fonts on the device I understand, I don't understand why > it renders correctly in iPad Mail but not iPad Pages. > > I guess it falls under 'custom fonts are defined by the app', I just would > have expected apps made by the same company to treat fonts the same way. > > Cheers! > > Callum > > On 23/10/2011, at 10:40 AM, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > >> >> On 23/10/2011, at 10:20 AM, Callum Prior wrote: >> >>> Hi all, >>> >>> I have a Pages document I've been working on on my Mac which uses some >>> custom fonts.
