It is important to note that some fonts show up as a slightly different name on the iPad and so won't automatically be mapped when displaying/editing a file on the iPad.
I highly recommend picking up AnyFont ASAP because although it is using "legal APIs" it is not using them for the purpose they were intended and so Apple can pull the app at any time (especially if it exposes a security hole)... or update the API such that a future version of iOS won't support it.

I've been wondering if I should buy this app but I'm a bit reluctant. I do have problems displaying Office documents on my iPad, so much so that I usually simply convert them to PDF before transferring them. Mostly I need documents on my iPad so that I can read them, and sometimes annotate them, for which PDF is good. But of course I would save time if I could just open documents from my mailbox and read or convert them to PDF from the iPad.
I don't know, I'm still reluctant to tinker with this kind of thing.
ETA: and I was hoping that MS Office for iPad included the original Windows font to avoid this problem. I surmise from your post that it's not the case?
