IOS - How to install custom font on iPhone OS (not just my APP), like AnyFont application?

My application uses a custom ancient font for the language, which should be extinct, interesting.

Now I use a custom font through my application, but I need to install the font in the iOS operating system. I hope it is possible so that I can copy and paste text from my application into other applications, such as email, SMS and especially Facebook , otherwise the characters appear as squares, because Apple does not even support their unicode.

I think this is possible because AnyFont is an application that does this without jailbreaking .

This feature is an important feature for users using the app to be able to communicate with the language.

So it would be very appreciated if someone would help me with some tips.

I'm not sure I need to post the code here!

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Will

You need to create a configuration profile for each font. If the user manually installs this profile, the font will be available for Numbers, Keynote, and some others. It is available with iOS 7. For this, see the Apple man page . Basically, you should use Font Payload:

Font payload allows you to add an additional font to your iOS device. The font payload is defined by specifying com.apple.font as the value of PayloadType. If necessary, you can enable several Font payloads.

...

Each payload must contain exactly one font file in TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf). Collection forms (.ttc or .otc) are not supported.

You can also look here: http://www.saturngod.net/create-custom-font-for-ios-7

If you are using a Mac, you can also check out Apple Apple Configurator , which also allows you to create these MDM profiles.
