font in iphone gives an image - iphone

I have added the character  after my name in my adress email. On Gmail or Ubuntu, it appears indeed as a . But people that read my emails on iphone get a small boar head!!
From what I read on Internet, iphone is using by default Helvetica font. And the tick is not a boar in this font.
Does anyone know where this could come from??

I asked a friend about your icon issue and he had me look into a popular emoticon plugin for iOS devices. Sure enough, after browsing through the icons, there was the small boar's head you are talking about.
The plugin is called Emoji and it essentially adds an extra keyboard to iOS Messages app. It's a possibility that the users who have reported this issue to you have that plugin installed on their devices? This might be where the icon is coming from. Let me know if you need any more information on this problem. I hope you are able to solve it!

Huawei ThemeStudio - font change

I recently joined the Huawei developer community and would like to start developing Huawei themes for mobile phones. I downloaded the ThemeStudio app and everything makes sense to me, except for one thing.
Why is it not possible to change the font? It is only possible to replace the digits, but not the text itself. Does the font always have to be a default? Is it up to the user to change it, or is there some way to change the font when uploading? When I look at the themes on my Huawei Honor phone created by others, they all have the font changed.
I've gone through all the documentation and tutorials, but nowhere can I find an answer to my question. As a new user, I am quite confused, hence I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Are you referring to changing the font of the lock screen in the theme package?
If you want to change all fonts provided by the mobile phone system, Theme Studio does not support the creation of fonts. This type of font is an independent resource type and is not open to designers except Chinese Mainland.
If you just want to change the font on the lock screen before the time, you can use the image writing method to achieve. For details, you could refer to this docs.

Google Fonts in email signature

Im using a Google font for an email signature using #import.
The fonts renders very differently on the iphone (maybe other mobile devices too - I dont know). Anyway - it looks very different.
Is this a well known issue? Any solutions?
Thanks
Support for Google fonts is not universal. See this page https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/will-it-work/webfonts/.
Test in Litmus or Email on Acid to see how they render.

iOS - How to install a custom font into the iPhone OS (Not just my APP) just like the AnyFont App?

My App uses a custom ancient font for a language that is about to be extinct, interesting right.
Now I am using the custom font thru out my app but I need to install the font into the iOS operating system I hope this is possible so that I can copy and paste text from my app into other apps like email, SMS and especially Facebook otherwise the chars come up as squares because Apple don't even support their unicode.
I think its possible because AnyFont is an app that does that without jailbreaking.
This feature is a crucial feature for users using the app to be able to communicate with the language.
So this would be much appreciated if someone could help me with some hints please.
I am not sure if I need to post code here !.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Will
You have to create a configuration profile for each font. With the manual installation by the user of that profile the font will be available for Numbers, Keynote and some others. It's available since iOS 7.
See Apple's reference page for that. Basically, you have to use the Font Payload:
A Font payload lets you add an additional font to an iOS device. Font
payloads are designated by specifying com.apple.font as the
PayloadType value. You can include multiple Font payloads, as needed.
...
Each payload must contain exactly one font file in TrueType (.ttf)
or OpenType (.otf) format. Collection formats (.ttc or .otc) are not
supported.
You can also take a look at here:

If you're using a Mac, you can also checkout Apple's Apple Configurator which allows you to create those MDM profiles too.

Rails 3: Render differently if email is opened on an iPhone?

I have an email which renders perfectly on a standard machine. However, when a user opens the email on their iphone there is a gray box that suddenly enlarges and takes up more space than it normally should. Is there a hack that I can use in order to have my html.erb page recognize whether or not it is being rendered in an iphone and adjust itself accordingly?
Its basically the CSS you would have to modify in general.
Follow this link showing which styles etc. are supported on iphone devices and which are not..
In order to get user's browser information, there is a cool gem called Browser. I strongly recommend you to check out its repo on Github.
Once you install this gem,
browser.mobile?
will give you true or false and you'll be able to do whatever you want depending on the answer.

Website seems to be fine on everything but iphone

I am building a website for a friend and it's just about done, apart from a bit more content, but now he tells me that it doesn't look right on his iphone. I have checked it on Safari, Opera, IE, Chrome and Firefox on laptop, and on my Android phone and on web-based iphone emulators and everything looks fine. I had him check on someone else's iphone and 1 of the problems goes but the other remains. My site is pretty basic, html and css only, but I am the first to admit that as I am new to this my code could probably be better.
The first issue is that above the header his iphone shows there are what's best described as 5 red bricks evenly spaced along the top. This doesn't show on his mates iphone.
The second issue is that on the "products" page, the right column text under the pictures isn't lined up properly, which is the case on his mates iphone. I don't know what to do here because if I alter the padding I used to line things up, it won't be right on every other browser/device.
I'm not sure what I'm best posting on here, the whole code for the site seems too much, but whatever needed to help answer just let me know. The site address for the products page is http://www.doortodoordrinksyork.com/products.html
Like I say I'm new to this so please keep answers simple.
Thanks in advance.
David.
PS Would appreciate anyone with an iphone telling me how the site displays on it.
If you use a Mac, you can use the iOS Simulator tool that comes with XCode to test out your site in a virtual iPhone/iPod. You can even compare different versions of the built-in browser, which I think is what's causing the difference between your mate's devices.
In general, well-built sites will 'work' without modification on mobile devices, but you may want to look into media queries, a CSS feature that lets you target specific screen sizes with different rules.
