I'm working on some HTML5 content to be included as part of an iPad app in a Web View.

As I understand it, Mobile Safari only supports SVG fonts, but my testing has show Mobile Safari to really struggle with SVG and the performance hit is a serious issue.

So... is it possible to put fonts in the App Bundle and somehow make them available to the webview?
