Adding a font to pages for Ipad

How do I load a new font into Pages for Ipad? I work with documents to learn ancient Greek and when I import them from my Mac I lose the Greek font and wind up with the English transliteration?

iPad, Other OS

I have the same terable problem. I enjoy taping documents siting on a couch with iPad but i cannot tape anything in my native language because iPad does not support custom fonts nur have them.

So i cannot tape in full Cyrillic.

Unicode has cuted down version of Cyrillic wich i will not use.

So i have to use custom fonts which lets me tape in full Cyrillic, but the problem Pages on iPad does not support thouse fonts.

That is fanny that Apple sell their products in Rus' region but their products do not offer native Slavic language.

Or i can use this virtual keyboard but with out installing full Cyrillic fonts it will not display properly on device http://www.churchslavonic.org/

Yes, Apple is never going to support non-unicode stuff that maps cyrillic to latin. If you need to use that kind of legacy technology, you should find other equipment.

My mother uses Notes to write letters which she then prints and mails. She asked me if I could add a handwriting font for her to use. I was able to use AnyFont to accomplish this, but of course Notes can't use the new handwriting font. I'm looking for a very simple app that can. The closer to Notes it is (except with formatting capabilities), the better. I'm beginning to think I'm hunting a unicorn. Does anyone have anything? It needn't be free. I'm willing to pay for the right app. Thanks.

IF it is Unicode i will be very happy but what i discovered that Unicode has very ugly Cyrillic letters which look totaly fake. Most of the letters which suppouse to be Cyrillic look identically to Latin.

And that link which i gave looks like they use castom font, non unicode which i use too when i write in Notes or use on my own web site.


Here is an example of real Cyrillic http://www.sterligoff.ru/media/books/LLS6_1-199.pdf

And unfortionaly i think Unicode might never support true Cyrillic because of political fascist resons of USA current "Free Mason" goverment because they want that all world speak in simplified English even though that alot languages are much more supperior to English in awry way.


Here is my web site http://xn------5cdalejmehyef4fbo2bdhej4t.xn--p1ai/ in Russian language so u can see true Cyrillic. If u know it in Unicode i will be happy.
