IPad and ebooks .epub which fonts trouble free

Hi.
Does anyone have a CURENT REFERENCE a LIST of FONTS that will work without problems on the popular tablets specifically iPads and kindles.
I am creating an ebook -  an .epub file on my Macbookpro OS X 10.8 using inDesign CC.
I searched the internet, this forum, other forums etc and included 2013 and 2014 in the search terms but I HAVE not found a list.
One tutorial discusses using TrueType Or OpenType Fonts not postscript fonts but although this was a very good tutorial about creating epubs....it is from 2009.
Another article listed fonts for the kindleFire and KindleWhite but I have NOT found a CURRENT LIST for IPADS or iOS.
I Would like to cross reference these lists and USE FONTS that display on both.
I am not concerned with smartphones at this point.
Thanks.

Does iBook just refuse to recognize any fonts but its own?
I think that may well be correct. It is a closed system and as far as I know does not yet recognize embedded fonts in ePub or css/(x)html (only in the pdf context, or presumably as part of an app).
OS X Safari has supported embedded fonts for two years now, but the mobile version does not.
You can ask for this feature to be added here:

  • Font licensing for eBooks (epub with @font-face)

    Hello,
    The ePub format supports - as you may know - the CSS2 @font-face, but  Adobe's fonts aren't directly embeddable that rule.
    At the moment, there are not FAQs or license terms specifically written  for ePub (or other kind of ebook formats) so I'm going to refer to the  currently available documents I found on the web.
    A Typblography blog post  (http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2010/10/web-font-licensing.html)  clearly describes the difference Adobe sets between "embedding" and  "serving" a font.
    Epub format - unfortunately - lies in a sort of no man's land, because  it is a zipped container of browsable documents (xhtml files,  stylesheets, images, fonts), so it can be considered a self-contained  and portable document, but at the same time, it doesn't protect the  fonts from unauthorized use.
    Also the Adobe Font Licensing FAQs  (http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/ff_faq.html) partially  clarify the field of discussion.
    The Adobe's proprietary font obfuscation feature, supported by Adobe  Digital Editions, can be easily overridden with few lines of python code.
    Adobe doesn't allow for @font-face embedding but let authors access to  use its fonts via specialized web font services such as Typekit.com  which can't be used by ePubs because of its offline nature.
    My questions are:
    Can I use an Adobe licensed font (i.e. Minion Pro) in an  ePub ebook using @font-face?
    What kind of license or agreement should be  used?
    Is there a dedicated contact for licensing-related issues (the [email protected] address just bounces back)?
    Indeed, I can already download some ePubs featuring the Minion Pro  typeface. I.e: "Il fu Mattia Pascal" edited by Mondadori (the most important italian publishing company) and freely  downloadable from the LaFeltrinelli store  (http://www.lafeltrinelli.it/products/9788852013089/Il_fu_Mattia_Pascal/Luigi_Pirandello.ht ml).
    That makes me confident that an arrangement is possible, isn't it?
    I hope to hear soon from you, as I'm writing also on behalf of some  others italian ebook designers.
    Thank you,
    Matteo Balocco

    Great question. Did you ever get a reply?

  • We have an Ipad and two Iphones. We have an internet radio program we like. One of the phones plays it fine the Ipad and other Iphone which sync on the same computer will only play a short time and we can't reconnect again until the following week? They a

    Hi there. We have two iphone 3gs' and an Ipad 2 all operate on IOS 5 but one of the iphones syncs on another computer. The other two sync on our other computer. Those two will only play internet radio for a short time and then they stop playing the program while our third will play all the way through and we can always get back to the program. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this happens? Thank you

    Here's how to do it.
    1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
    2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
    3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts  and etc.

  • I have the first IPad and I tried to download a free GPS. It said I had to log in to the iTunes Store on my computer. How does that help?

    Tried to down load GPSLite .  It said Unable to Download App.  It said I ned to log in to the ITune Store on my computer. How will that help?

    Assuming you have an iPad wi-fi+3G, were you connected to an available wi-fi network when attempting to download the application?
    Regardless, installing such a large app on your iPad is probably best via the iTunes sync process which might be required with such a large app.

  • Trouble sending email from iPad and iPhone

  • How should I organize and disable non-english fonts.

    I'm a graphic designer and I'm having trouble organizing all of these random hebrew/japanese/chinese fonts that I never use.
    I don't want to screw up my system, but I also don't want to scroll through 200 fonts every time I want to find one.
    Is there an easy way I can find all of the non-english fonts and disable them?
    Fontbook freezes and crashes all the time for me, so I've been using Suitcase Fusion free trial for a few days and disabled a bunch of fonts through it. Though, it prevents me from disabling anything considered a "System Font" which is fine, only having the necesccary non-english fonts is okay, I just don't want 75% of my font list in my adobe applications to be un-usable fonts.
    I guess my problem is that by default, some fonts are pre-disabled on OS X, and should I run into problems, I want a way to easily re-enable these fonts if I need to. Also, since I've disabled so many fonts, I dont' know what ones are enabled by default. How would I go about restoring all of my fonts?
    I think it'd be nice to be able to sort all of the fonts by what language they're in. But I don't know what language the font is because I don't speak those languages. Another problem is that you can't organize local fonts in Suitcase. I think using fontbook would be my best option for this, before switching back to Suitcase for regular use, but I still have the problem of restoring my already disabled fonts correctly, and figuring out which fonts are in what language. Could anyone help me out with this?

    PS Here is a rough list of fonts provided with OS X intended for use only with particular non-Latin scripts:
    Arabic :  al bayan, baghdad, damascus, decotype naskh, geeza pro, nadeem
    Hebrew: arial hebrew, corsiva hebrew, new peninim, raanana

    Japanese: hiragino

  • IPad and exchange server

    I synch my exchange email with the iPad and my laptop, which is W7/outlook. Currently when I delete a message from my iPad, it deletes off of my server account. I'd like for the messages to be retained on the server so that I have them on my laptop, but be deleted off of the iPad. I believe there used to be a setting for this; however, I'm unable to locate that setting on the iPad.

    I've seen a "leave messages on server" for POP accounts, but not for Exchange accounts. One of the "features" of Exchange was to have multiple client apps (i.e.: Outlook) all in sync. You want to purposefully have your devices not-in-sync.
    I suggest you create an "archive" folder, then rather than deleting a message, you move it to the archive folder. (Yes, sub folders you create in Outlook can be seen on the iPad, and yes, messages can be moved from the iPad.) I normally suggest this to my clients because it's all to easy to empty the deleted items folder, then have an "oops" moment. Then once a year (or sooner) do a "spring cleaning" and purge any old messages from the archive folder. This archive folder would be visible on the ipad as well as any other computer that can connect the Exchange, so your message would be in the same place on every computer and iPad and "spring cleaning" can be done from any computer or the iPad. And this also has the "feature" of clearing out your inbox, which IMHO, most people have their inbox way too cluttered anyway so even this one archive folder organizing is a good thing.

  • Hebrew ebooks (.epub) for iPhones, iPads and Android

    Hello,
    I want to convert a book I wrote to .epub format in order to display it in iPhones, iPads and Android using reading apps.
    I already tried converting the file using Scrivener (Which worked on iPhones but not on iPads and androids) and with Calibre which has a bug with Hebrew letters.
    A friend told me InDesign might be a good choice so I wanted to ask you:
    [1] Is it possible to convert to .epub and display Hebrew letters in RTL direction and right text-alignment?
    [2] If so, Which of the two programs should I purchase (199$ / 299$)?
    [3] Does the convertion process is simple enough?
    [4] Is it possible to convert to .mobi as well?
    Thanks,
    Oren

    There are some difficult issues in what you're trying to do. One is that in order to get RTL support with InDesign, you need to be using InDesign ME. See a recent thread where I suggested the poster contact the company that produces the ME version for Adobe:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172125
    Second, you'll need to make sure the Hebrew font is licensed for embedding, and you'll need to learn about creating EPUBs in InDesign. I'd suggest starting with eBooks by Liz Castro.
    Here's a link to her website:

  • TS1702 When I backed up my ipad because I thought I had a problem with it in which I didnt, I went to restore my ipad and now some of my app that I had purchased are not there, the free version is on my Ipad and Icloud but not the purchased version?

    I thought I had a problem with my Ipad in which I didnt, so I backed up my Ipad and restored it, but now Some of my apps that I have purchased are not available only the free version, not the purchased version. I would have to purchase again and it is not backed up into my Icloud either ?

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • After 2 years of trouble free use I can no longer access Facebook on my iPhone4 although I can access it on my laptop which is supposedly synced with my iPhone, anyone out there able to help please.

    the clue is in the message title i.e. after two years successful and trouble free use I am suddenly unable to access Facebook on my iPhone 4 whereas I can still access it on my PC which I keep synced with my iPhone. Am I/have I done something stupid to make this happen ANY help would be appreciated.

    Have you recently used any midi controller with Logic.. such as a hardware controller or even an iPad app.
    If you used an iOS app, power down (Not just put to sleep) your iOS device and see what happens.. If that fixes it you are running an iOS controler in the background and so you will need to close it..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Failing that, quit Logic and trash the Control Surface pref file.... restart Logic and see if that cures it..
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.
