Normally in a web app i would put a font-family in the CSS something like this
” font-family: “Helvetica Neue”, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;”
This way i cover my bases as to whether the target browser can handle the various fonts and will fail gracefully if it is missing some.
However that are only a limited number of fonts on the iphone and presumably if you only specify one, say Helvetica, the iPhone will always have that font and use it. So i don’t really need a font-family. Do I?
Maybe future iPhone OS releases might have different fonts, or there might be different fonts in different territories.
I’d at least keep the CSS generic font ‘sans-serif’ in.
