Products Affected

iBooks Author

There are two ways you can change the fonts in your book with iBooks Author:

The Format bar appears below the toolbar in iBooks Author. If you do not see it, choose Show Format Bar from the View menu. The Fonts window is also available from the Format menu. Choose Format > Font > Show Fonts.

For best results with iPad, use the Format bar to select fonts; the Format bar's font list includes only fonts that are available on the iPad, so the book should look the same in iBooks Author and in iBooks on the iPad. If you use the Fonts window to select your fonts, all fonts available on your computer will be listed. Selecting a font that is unavailable on the iPad may have inconsistent results when you view the book in iBooks.

Additional Information

For a complete list of fonts available on the iPad, see iOS 5: Font list.
