Using Custom Fonts in iOS with Typekit by Adobe

Question

I know its possible to use customs font in an app by thrown a .tff in and changing the info.plist but is it possible to use font from typekit.com ? My client wants a specific font off there called Omnes Pro. but the site seems to be geared towards just HTML devs. which I am none the such. Any help guys?

Answer 1

I have no experience with TypeKit but by simply checking their site thoroughly, I found the following link: Now serving truetype fonts to iOS 4.2 devices

This hints pretty reliably that they do actually offer OpenType and/or TrueType font formatted files after purchase.

Answer 2

TypeKit fonts are for web use only, so this isn't possible

EDIT

Looks like TypeKit desktop syncing means fonts are not 'web only' anymore, but their license still doesn't allow embedding in native applications as of February 2014:

From http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590:

Can I embed Typekit desktop fonts in a mobile or desktop app I’m building?

No. Neither the Typekit sync font license or web font license allows you to embed the fonts within mobile or desktop apps. Currently, this requires the appropriate license to be purchased directly from the foundry or one of their authorized resellers.
