Download A Font To Ipad

One of the things that is good about DaFont is that fonts are categorized under themes. So by selecting the theme you like, it is easier for you to quickly find the font you like. There are about 72 themes that you can choose from.
However, if you are planning to use the font for a commercial use, you need to check the license agreement of the corresponding font. Normally, fonts under 100% free are fonts that can be used for both personal and commercial use, but just to make sure.
Knowing fonts to be the critical link here, the logical question becomes, "How do I make sure I have the right fonts on my iPad to display the equations?" The problem would be solved if it were possible to embed the equation fonts into the document. The trouble is, although it's possible to embed fonts into a document, Office doesn't respect fonts from inserted objects such as MathType equations. Therefore, fonts used in equations aren't embedded into the document. The only reason any bits of the equation are visible on the iPad is that those fonts are already on the iPad.
On your iPad, open the App Store and use the search string install fonts to find apps that will do what we describe here. Some apps add a new keyboard or fonts that can be used only in certain apps (such as the built-in photo editor). Don't get those.
There are several apps in the store that will let you install fonts, and that's what we need to do. We are not recommending any app over the other. However, we have successfully used the app named AnyFont. We don't have any connection with the developer of AnyFont, but the app is not free. I think there's a trial of some sort, but I'm not sure what the limitations are. There are several other apps similar to AnyFont, but we don't have any particular one to recommend. Our advice is that whichever app you decide to try, read the description to make sure it will take the fonts you provide and install them onto your iPad.
Once you decide on an app, upload this symbol font to a cloud service such as Dropbox, iCloud, or OneDrive. Please note there is already a Symbol font on your iPad, but it will not display the symbols from your MathType equations. In the screenshot above, the missing characters are all from Symbol font.
The following three steps are specific to AnyFont. Some instructions won't be the same if you're using a different app. Just follow whatever process is appropriate for the app you're using. If the app doesn't require adding a "Profile" to your iPad for each font you install, it may not work for viewing your MathType equations.
Select the font file and install it with AnyFont. There are multiple steps in this process, but just follow the instructions on the screen from AnyFont. Unfortunately, it's a one-font-at-a-time ordeal.
Please please please add font color to iOS... it's so frustrating to not have this. I'm a long time daily Evernote user and thus feature anomaly makes me crazy. It's a huge inconsistency in the user experience.
