Adding a font to pages for Ipad
iPad, Other OS

I wish I could sell Apple Kool-Aid inside of Apple forums. These confirmation biased posters would buy enough to pay for my kids college tuitions many times over.
Apple supports Adobe PDF apps in iOS which support fonts loaded into PDF documents which renders properly and is editable (the entire font file is called on for editing) in the app that's running inside of the same application layer pages operates in.
There's no justifiable reason, in today's iOS programming enviornment, for fonts to behave this way in pages for iOS.
That being said, the fourtran code referred to as "fourth" referenced by the poster who is my target market for Kool-Aid, may be correct in referring to 50-year-old program in environments. That's not applicable to this thread.

I'm not sure what you are referring to, since the post you're responding to is 5 years old. But, in case it is of use, there have been several apps available that let users install fonts in iOS for use in Pages and other apps since iOS 7.
Yeah, I've got some documents using special fonts, I'd love to add them.
I do hope Apple corrects this problem. Otherwise Pages isn't much good for what I need to do.
I'm sure Apple will find some 'magical' way of solving this major oversight in the very near future.
I agree we need Century Gothic!!!
I always use century gothic and am so devastated that thenipad doesn't have it on its iWork apps! I hope they update this and let us download this update from iTunes for free
There is a tool called plutil that can convert binary plists to
ascii/XML plists. The source is available from libimobiledevice.org.
Using it, it is possible to add fonts to the iPad 3 by editing the
font plists.
