What is the best way to support richtext (bold, italics, font sizes, etc) in an iOS app? I don't believe UITextView and UIWebView can do this. What are most word processing apps using?
One tool to do this is Core Text API
Take a look at this tutorial and the documentation from Apple.

I want to design a rich text area for iPhone where user can enter text or multiple images such that when user attached image it just come after the text ends and after that continue to write text.When user edits the text the image will also get adjustable according to it.
Any suggestion how to achieve it.
Thanks
IOS 5.0 introduces editable UIWebView. This makes rich text editing in iphone less complicated.
Just go through these tutorial's series http://ios-blog.co.uk/iphone-development-tutorials/rich-text-editing-a-simple-start-part-1/
The best tutorials for rich text editing in IOS 5 !!!
Today, your best bet for this IMO is a UIWebView. You should start by watching Session 511 ("Rich Text Editing in Safari on IOS") from WWDC 2011. You may want to start with one of the existing JavaScript solutions with good Safari support, such as TinyMCE or CKEditor, and adapt from there. This is all covered in the WWDC video.
I Need to use my own smiley icons (like emoji) in my textfield and all around the project. Is there any way to install the fonts in iOS. Please suggest me for the right way...
I got that there is no solution for the installation. I created manual keyboard using scrollview and buttons.
Should be easy, as long as you know which glyphe is which smiley:
Have a look at Custom Fonts in iOS 4 at beefyapps.com.
EDIT
The Emoji Icons are a stored in the private use area of unicode. They won't look any good on a different device than an iPhone/iPad, this is Apple specific.
The app is just to enable the keyboard. You can do it yourself: Making An Emoji Enabeling App.
Have a look at The truth about iPhone Emoji, which sheds some light on the whole topic.

how can I load and embed a custom font in my iphone app? what font file types are supported? (otf, ttf...)
It is possible to supply fonts with your app and use them. Take a look at CGFontCreateWithDataProvider which should provide all the functionality you need.
At least TTF is supported, not sure about OTF.
I tried to embed font at web pages. I can see the font rendering properly at latest non-IE browsers, but when I tried with Iphone Safari Browser, it doesn't render. I want to know whether Iphone Safari supports font embedding. Thanks.
They work in SVG format. Use the fontsquirrel.com generator to make the SVG version.
I'd noticed the same thing, but in truth you can get it to work but with SVG fonts. See this article: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/how-to-achieve-cross-browser-font-face-support/ for a method for converting web fonts into enough formats to be truly cross-platform.
