Should it? The same thing works fine in the IDE. But when run in the
simulator or on a device the text is not styled. I did just try using
Helvetica instead of Arial and that seems to work okay.
Unfortunately, I need Arial and not Helvetica.


I vaguely recall something similar happening to me. What I think is going on is that iOS won't generate fake styles like bold and italic; it will only use fonts that have separate style faces in the font family. I haven't tried it, but it might work to set the font name rather than the style:

<p>Howdy! How <font="Arial-ItalicMT">are</font> you today?</p>

The font names for iOS 5 are here: <http://iosfonts.com/>. iOS 4 has all the Arials too.
