Can you specify secondary and tertiary fonts?

12 years ago • updated by 12 years ago • 2

Can you pick a few fonts as a text attribute, so the device can fallback if the primary font isn't supported? For example, Avenir isn't built into iOS 5 (and I'm sure it's probably not a native Android font either), so can I make it fallback, or should I use a platform tag?

Tyler,

I will have to investigate this further in the morning. I am thinking by default that if you chose a font that is not supported in a previous version of OS, then it may default to Helvetica. I am sure there is probably a javascript you can use to control this. Let me find out and get back to you.

It looks like your best bet is using a platform tag to help drive the font selection from one device to the next. WIRE does not currently support fallback functionality.
