I'm developing apps for iOS and I would like to know which fonts I can use to Cyrillic texts. The problem is that not all of the standard English fonts are featured. Could you please give a list cyrillic supported fonts for iOS?
I don't think anyone ever compiled such a list of only Cyrillic supporting fonts, however you can always bring your custom font with you:
See UIAppFonts settings key here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/general/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/iPhoneOSKeys.html
It allows to add custom fonts and then use them with UIFont in your application.

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.
I want to create an app that will provide custom fonts to the user that will work in other apps also like WhatsApp, Viber, Wechat etc. Some apps on appstore that provide this functionality are as follows:-
KOOL FONT STYLES, Fonts for Whatsapp.
But the problem is that I don't know how to do this and from where I should start?
You can't - at least, not really.
Those applications don't add fonts. They expose existing Unicode characters, and automatically convert text to use these characters (for instance, one "font" might translate A to Ⓐ).
I need to know why google font API just doesn't work on iPhone, it doesn't show the great font I have chosen for the site

check out the font on sidebar... it should be COMPRESSED now it's normal
I use a combination of http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ and #fontface, and it work beautifully !
I am deep into designing my first iOS app and was curious as to which fonts are most commonly used (or the best). Also, what sizes are used for feed items, names, title, etc....
System fonts (used by the OS everywhere by default) is Helvetica, and Helvetica Neue
I am not sure if you are looking for data on apps using non-system fonts.
Helvetica is probably the most commonly used font and is usually their system default. I don't know if there is a best as that is opinion.
I am trying to localize my iphone app in Greek language. I go to the developers portal (Manage localizations) to add my new localized language but i notice that the Greek language is not listed! Many other languages are not listed as well. Check the image below to see what i mean.

How am i supposed to add a greek name on the app store for my app?
Do i have to submit a new app?
Any help appreciated.
I have found that it is not possible because apple does not provide metadata localization options for the greek language. I asked other greek developers that had the same problem. Thank you all!
