Embedding fonts for Apps - emergency!

Hi folks, I'm finalising my app.

1) Firstly, do I need to embed a font in Flash to ios? It's not dynamic text, I just want to make sure it appears as that font to the reader.

2) I was about to buy the font i'm using for my reading text (Vag rounded), but spoke to the font owners, who told me it would

cost £350 per year for one app!! There's no way I'm paying that, so I'm not switching fonts.

Apple have a similar rounded device font called Arial Rounded MT bold, so I'm using that. I hope this is all legit for me to use

that font if Apple have paid the license.

3) but when it comes to Android, I think we're on our own..

It's really the last thing I need!

Thanks,

Matt

1. No embedding necessary if the text is static.

2. Yes, you can use that font with no issues.

3. I don't know anything about Android.
