Fonts

This page explains how administrators can use Mobile Device Manager Plus to create and distribute iOS Fonts profiles to managed iOS/iPadOS devices. It covers the step-by-step process of adding custom fonts in .ttf or .otf format through the web console, publishing profiles, and associating them with devices or groups so users can access additional fonts in compatible apps like Notes and Mail. The page also details how to delete fonts and highlights key limitations, such as a 15-font-per-profile limit and restrictions on replacing built-in device fonts.
