ſ (Long-S, Medial-S) not showing on iOS in ePub

Hi all,
Yesterday I successfully created an ePub containing a historical novel set in a blackletter font. Font embedding and font display works fine so far, but what isn't working is the "Long-S" (ſ Unicode U+017F)uſed in blackletter and historical texts frequently. Somehow it seems to be mapped to an "end-s" (normal s).
On Mac OS Mountain Lion, showing the "index.html" of the ePub in Safari works fine, however, it even seems to get the ligatures right most of the time.
Any ideas on how to resolve this and get iBooks show the "ſ" correctly?

it is still surprising that Safari on Mac OS is OK and on iOS it simply shows a standard "s".
More than surprising!  I don't know of any process by which a hardcoded U+017f could be displayed as a standard "s".  I think it would require some kind of "normalization" to replace characters by their Unicode compatiblity decomposition on the way to the ibooks app.
iBooks Author automatically embeds fonts, and I have no problem generating a test book that displays this character correctly in iBooks using fonts not present in iOS.
Have you experimented using any different fonts specified in your css to see if the same thing happens?

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • Long "All-Day" Event not showing in 2nd month

    All-Day events that begin before the last week in a month do not show up in the next month.
    Example: 3/29/2008 to 4/17/2008 (OK)
    3/27/2008 to 4/17/2008 (event doesn't show at all in April)

    I see the same problem.
    Shows properly on the web version if you publish.
    I am also seeing iCal crash A LOT when entering all day events that cover long periods repeated every year (never end). Entering data for vegetable planting dates for my area; e.g. peppers - March 25 - April 10 set as all day repeated yearly never ending.
    Reported to Apple; hopefully, both will be addressed in a future update....

  • RemoteApp Sessions Do Not Show on iOS Devices

    Hi All,
    I'm running a 2008R2 RD Gateway that connects to a few RD Session Host servers (all 2008 R2) with apps published via Remote App.  The remote apps run just fine using the Mac version of the Microsoft Remote Desktop client (ie they show up in the Remote
    Resources section and can be launched), however I am not having the same success using the iOS version of the Remote Desktop Client.
    When I put in the Feed and Username and Password on my iPad (or iPhone) I get a message that says "Please refresh and try again"  Doesn't matter if I use the full feed url (RDWeb/Feed/Webfeed.aspx) or just the web address it still does the
    same thing.  It will not show any of the Remote Resources.
    How can I fix this up?

    I have had no luck getting remoteapps on IOS and no reply from Microsoft on issue.  I have been able to get RemoteDesktops to appear fine.

  • HT201317 Photo stream photos on macbook do not show on ios devices.

    When I take photos on my iphone they show up on my MacBook Air. When I add a photo to my photo stream on the MacBook Air they do not show up on my iphone. Did I miss something? Is it only one way?

    It appears that photos from photostream do not download to your laptop. Depending on Operating system(Mac or Windows) you may want to check why?
    Here are some steps.

  • IPhoto albums and events and thousands of photos not showing on iOS devices

    I have 10,000 photos in iPhoto, and several albums.
    I have noticed that for the last few weeks on my iPhone 6 plus the only albums that show are
    Photos.... Years 2004, 2005 and 2014
    Shared (nothing)
    Albums All Photos (only 163 photos) Videos and Deleted
    There is no photo stream or anything else. All there is is listed above.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Under the iCloud photo library beta (in settings > iCloud) it says that the following will happen if have it turned on
    'automatically upload and store you entire library in iCloud to access photos and videos from all your devices...'
    So why does it not do what it says it will do....?
    iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is currently only available for your mobile devices with iOS 8. "store you entire library in iCloud " is referring to the "Photos" library on iPhone or iPad, not to the iPhoto Library on a Mac.  On your Mac you can only access this library from the iCloud web interface.
    Or will they be in the cloud in the spring.
    Early next year a Photos.app for MacOS Yosemite will be released. Photos on the Mac will be able to access iCloud Photo Library (no longer Beta), and Apple announced, that you will be able to migrate your iPhoto Library to "Photos".
    To see your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) use the Photos.app on the iCloud webpage.
    https://www.icloud.com
    or, if you want to upload to iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from your Mac, use

  • Software update not showing any ios update

    Hi I am using iphone 4s with ios6.1 ,I didnt downloaded ios 7 when it got released though  i got notifications.
    As of now i like to update my ios to latest(using OTA) but i not getting any software update in iphone, even when i click on software update its just keep on loading and showing "Checking for updates" but no other result is shown even after 15 mins. Internet and wifi is working properly as i can surf pages .
    I tried to update via itunes too but my itunes needs to be updated to 11.0.3 when i click on download itunes latest ,its getting downloading to certain amount and get stucks with no more downloading.So i am not able to update ios via itunes.
    This where it stucks
    Kindly help me how to fix this..

    Its quite normal for iTunes taking time to install new version 11.1.3 as it also completly depends on your internet speed as well
    How are you trying to update iTunes?
    1) By clicking on check for updates under under tab on iTunes or
    2) or By completly uninstalling old version of iTunes and all related components from control panel add/remove programs and then trying to install fewsh copy
    Its recommended that you try the 2nd step as it takes less time when compared to first method
    Once you install iTunes you can connect the device and check if there is a update available for your iPhone.

  • Can anyone help with iTunes library not showing on iOS devices?

    I cannot view my iTunes library on my iOS devices. The tabs that used to be at the bottom of both the music and video apps are no longer there. My appleTV sees it just fine though. I have tried turning home-sharing off and back on againon both the computer and iOS devices. Quitting apps on the iOS devices, and exiting iTunes on my mac, and restarting them again. Nothing has worked so far. All I get when I bring up either app is "No Content" and the store button. This started before the iOS 7 update. Has anyone seen this yet? Is there a fix for it? Thanks!

    I used to see that in iOS6 once in a while. Close the apps and reboot the iPad and then look in the apps again. You know how to close the apps so close them first.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Certain shared songs not showing under ios but share fine to itunes under mac os x

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    I think I found the answer. If you enable the S/MIME option in the account settings on the iOS device, the transcriptions show up.

  • Personal hotspot option not showing in IOS 8.1.2

    I was using personal Hotspot on cellular data "Mobilink" on my 4s , i recently updated to IOS 8.12 and since then this option is gone . Please help

    Hi Anas
    i am having the same issue on my iphone 6 with personal hotspot option missing with mobilink carrier in Lahore.
    This came after i installed a profile of mobilink ( network settings )
    which doesnt go away even if i try to reset the network settings.
    i cant go and delete the profiles manually.
    i have contacted mobilink network support and they have no idea what i am talking about ( even discussed it with their resolution center ) but they just gave me apples where i wanted oranges
    they said they have not disabled it neither they are charging for this option
    once i put the sim in android phone.( i can make a personal hotspot option)..
    Question is why not iphone.
    Perhaps mobilink doesnt support iphone officially thats why.
    This came after ( Mobilink offer of 3 dollars = 15 Gb ) of 3g traffic.
    when i put in the sim of zong network ( 3g and 4g ) hotspot works fine on iphone
    Apple guys ( how can i delete network profile )?
    such as a software using windows or on mac .
    I cant do it through iphone's network cellular settings the carrier settings just wont go away.
    neither
    Apple configurator seem to detect configuration profiles on ios 8 .( and officially i believe the configurator has been taken offline.)
    i don't want to factory reset my phone as it has alot of data and other things so i didnt try this option

  • ITunes Match changes not showing on iOS device

    I updated a bunch of stuff in iTunes (typos, recategorized genres, etc).  I manually told iTunes Match to update, but when I go to my iPhone 5, it does not reflect the changes.  Is there somethiung I need to do on my iPhone 5 to force an update?

    Are the tracks that are not updating downloaded to your iPhone? If so you'll need to delete the tracks from the device before the changes will show up.
