In reply to Matthew Buchanan. Any update on this, Gregory? I'd love a 'serve to iOS 4+ only' sub-checkbox for each experimental Apple device option, too, as my sites crash due to the multiple weights bug. I'm guessing that this will continue to be a problem for a while to come; while iOS fragmentation isn't anywhere near as big a deal as it is with, say, Android, it does still occur, and this for me would be a good workaround – I can't enable iOS support otherwise. Thanks!

I’m getting some spacing issues with certain links, but other than that, it works like a charm.

Hi Christophe, could you send an email to support@typekit.com about this? That’s probably the easiest way to get to the bottom of the issue. Thanks.

In reply to Paul Ingraham. Pleased to hear it! That will remove a barrier for me for sure. I look forward to using TypeKit more.

You’re right, Paul — this shouldn’t be happening. We’ll fix it ASAP.

In reply to Torbjoern Karlevid. We added iPad support a couple of months ago, so that's why it's working for you. If you're confused about why it's not crashing your site when viewed on an iPad: the crashing behavior we observed doesn't happen in *every* case. It does become more common the more weights and styles you display. Does this clear up the confusion? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Any comment on the incredibly annoying way the “Fonts from Typekit” badge is stuck awkwardly in the mobile Safari viewport with no way to control its positioning? Still a deal-breaker! If there’s a fix I’ve missed, I’d be delighted to hear it.
