I'm not sure if this is an EW bug or not. But I've used the Google font 'Economica' for mobile navigation and it works on my desktop but not on my iPhone. Here's the test page.

Seems like it is a newer font. This will be addressed in version 1.7, for now add this to your Head Code section for your website under Publishing Settings; <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family= Economica"> ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

One of the things you should avoid on the mobile version of a website is the use of Google fonts. Use Google's page load indicator to see why.

If I want to use Google fonts, am I better to then host them on my server as detailed in your link?

I switched to another google font and have added the code from Google's page and it works perfectly. Would it be better if I hosted this on my own server though? I started that process and couldn't find the font's css page, only the .ttf files.
