I was looking at the NYTimes iPhone app today and noticing that it
looks like they're using a UIWebView with a custom font (not sure
what font though, anyone know?). I did some digging on how to do
this and couldn't come up with anything except one bit about @font-
face being deprecated on MobileSafari. I saw a lot of references
to using Cufón (or similar), however that doesn't allow for copying
or selection and the NYTimes app does. anyone know of a way to use
a real custom font face in a UIWebView?
Embed the font file in your app. IIRC there is a special Info.plist
key that points to a subdirectory containing font files, which will
automatically be enabled. See the docs on Info.plist keys.
Then you don't need to use @font-face, you can just reference the
font name in your stylesheet.
After some looking, I think you're talking about
ATSApplicationFontsPath. Unfortunately although it shows up in the
iPhone docs, it state that it only works on Mac OS X. I'm working on
iPhone so this really doesn't help much.
However, I also found after checking the NYTimes app again that
they're actually using Georgia for their font face, not anything custom.
