Thanks John + Scott. So, that doesn’t seem to be any clearer - 2 conflicting reports. I’ve also tried setting it to the display fontname and that works - but only when the postscript name is the same, AFAICS.
I was testing on the simulator with iOS 8.2 and on device with iOS 7. The fontmap was (I think) introduced with 6.7 but at least here it’s not used. I guess I should get on and test this with LC7 + LC8… John, what version of LC did you test with?
