![]() How do you install extra fonts on the iPad? The biggest impediment to finishing my work on the iPad, though, came from the fact that I needed to generate a bunch of charts in Numbers-and they use a non-default font, Proxima Nova, that wasn’t installed on my iPad. I still don’t have an answer for this, though I get the distinct sense that if I spent a few hours teaching myself a bit more JavaScript I could figure out how to write some scripts for 1Writer that would do the trick. I also lamented the lack of BBEdit’s Sort Lines feature in any of my chosen iOS text editors. I wouldn’t want to write in Textastic, but it greps well. 1 I own both of these apps and while I don’t like writing articles using them-they’re development tools more than writing tools-they absolutely support grep and I will use them in the future when I need to do pattern-matching searches on iOS. I complained about not being able to do grep searches in my iOS text editors of choice, and while that’s true, several people pointed out that there are iOS apps that are capable of them, most notably Coda by Panic and Textastic Code Editor 7. The point wasn’t that these tasks were impossible on the iPad, but that they were inconvenient enough-requiring me to research a bunch of apps or figure out workarounds or write scripts-that I was better off just going back to my Mac and doing the work there, primarily in BBEdit and Numbers. ![]() ![]() Warning: This story has not been updated in several years and may contain out-of-date information.Īs I wrote earlier this month, I ended up finishing my Six Colors Report Card story on the Mac because I ran into several roadblocks when I tried to finish the project on my iPad.
