Hi Brent,
Is there anyway to add fonts to a TapLynx app?
In my app, I wanted to get beyond Georgia/Verdana/etc. in the article
page of some of my feeds, as you can see in this screenshot:
http://www.niemanlab.org/ipad/articletemplate.png
I was doing that by using TypeKit to import the non-iPad fonts (FF
Tisa in this case), but the hit to load time was far too great.
I'd love to be able to add some more interesting type to the app, but
I don't know if I can do that. Can I include a font as a resource
within the Xcode project and then reference it in the CSS for an
article template?

I know we just got through the holidays, and that Brent has many other
programs on his plate, but any word on this or getting to 1.0? I'm
getting close to submission-to-Apple time and I'd like to be able to
do that with PadLynx 1.0 if possible. Thanks!

Hey TapLynx crew,
Can someone poke their heads up in this forum? It's now been a month
since the last post here from a Newsgator staffer, and Lighthouse
hasn't seen any movement on tickets over the same span. Would really
like to know about 1.0 timing, at least. Thanks!

Hey Josh (and everyone!),
Sorry for being so quiet, we've seriously just been heads-down working since the holidays. I don't have a timeline for 1.0 (it is very close) but we'll have more information soon.

Hey Jenny -- thanks for popping in.
Should I assume, then, that there's no way to embed and reference a
font in a TapLynx app?
