Font issue with chapter & number text

Hi,

I have a weird behaviour which happens when I make a preview of the ibook on the ipad.

I set on the chapter page template a Haettenschweiler font on the chapter text and I apply the modification to all chapter pages.

When I do the preview, the font is correctly displayed on the thumbnail but when I tap on it, the picture grow up and during the process, the font change to the Helvetica and when displayed as a big one, it stays with the Helvetica and not the one I defined.

Is it a bug or did I missed something ?

Check the screenshots from the ipad:

iBook Author-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Haettenschweiler font is not supported - iBA makes a change and substitutes Helvetica instead.

Thank you for your answer and I saw that you post something similar about the font in a different post. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3726756?answerId=17755270022#17755270022 and I thought it was an Apple one but I just saw that it's a Microsoft.

I still find weird because it is correctly displayed at the beginning and then it changes to Helvetica. If you see the screenshot, you will see that it's surprising that at the end, iBook can render other font.

Where can I find the font supported by the iBooks ? I don't find it in the french help. Are they the same as the one for the IOS App ?

Thanks again

Ok, I understand the font that I can use are the one they are in the drop down menu and not when I do CMD + T.
