I'm curious - when i'm using iBooks, and i use the Format bar to select fonts, i don't see/have access to all of the iOS system fonts in that menu. How can i add them? They're evidently not added when i install iBooks...
thanks,
bill
Use the pull-down in the toolbar when targeting iOS/iPad with the need for supported fonts.
KT - thanks for responding - unfortunately, i don't see the whole range of iOS system fonts in that menu.
How do you know?
Example of what's missing?
How many do you see?

Ken -
See below - this is my "full" font list through the format bar:
Also - i use a font management tool to manage fonts on my computer, and the ios system fonts (as detailed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980) aren't there, either, so it's not a matter of having them activated or deactivated
'Format' is in the upper menu, not the toolbar...just so we can both use the same terminology, thanks.:) You're in the right place for iOS fonts, tho.
And yes, your list is way short in any case. There shouldn't be any requirement for you to load the full list yourself and I can't see why you don't have them all, sorry.
I can only suggest to reinstall iBA - have your tried that already?
Which OS X are you using?
I hope that 'font management tool' hasn't somehow led to the issue as well.

(Sorry about the wrong terminology)
I'm on 10.7.3
I reinstalled iBooks this morning, hoping that would solve the problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to install any fonts...
I don't think that the font management tool is the problem, but am having IT investigate as well...
thanks for the help, though

Not iBooks.
iBooks Author on your Mac.
iBooks is on your iPad.
Yes - i reinstalled iBooks Author.
You may want to create another user on that computer, then try iBooks Author from there to see if the issue persists.

What kind of list do you see if you go to Format > Fonts > Show Fonts?
IBooks Author doesn't install any fonts, that list where you have problems just lets you easily see which fonts on you Mac are also available in iOS.
How do i get access to/install the iOS system fonts on my Mac to use in iBooks?
