Thanks for taking a look. The attached file crashes for me. The SFNS files are separate ttf files in my System/Library/Fonts/ folder. Akwe Pro.afpub

Font Akwe Pro applied to frame text or artistic text causes Affinity Publisher 2 (also Designer 2, Photo 2 and now all three version 1 apps) to crash when exporting to PDF as subset font. To reproduce, place text in any document, apply any Akwe Pro style to it, then export to PDF. The app crashes and on restarting it, Terminal consistently offers up the following [extract]: '2022-11-13 13:58:13.724 Affinity Publisher 2[2509:47797] CoreText note: Client requested name ".SFNS-RegularItalic", it will get Times-Roman rather than the intended font. All system UI font access should be through proper APIs such as CTFontCreateUIFontForLanguage() or +[NSFont systemFontOfSize:]. 2022-11-13 13:58:13.724 Affinity Publisher 2[2509:47797] CoreText note: Set a breakpoint on CTFontLogSystemFontNameRequest to debug. 2022-11-13 13:58:13.751 Affinity Publisher 2[2509:47797] CoreText note: Client requested name ".SFNS-RegularItalic", it will get Times-Roman rather than the intended font.

The font files have been validated by Font Book. Latest versions of InDesign, Pages, Word all output the font to PDF (as subset not curves). Font was working just fine in v1 until I upgraded to v2 of the Affinity apps. iMac running Big Sur (11.7.1). Identical error reproduced on a Macbook Pro running Monterey (12.6.1).

Span and split please. It's essential.
