ok -- finally got it to work with the version from the Affinity website. I went through, wiped all traces of the app -- prefs, etc. — and reinstalled. This time, everything worked fine. Not sure what exactly happened, but it's working fine now. I appreciate the help.

Yes, I'm pretty good abut making sure my fonts are valid, but I double-checked them, to be sure. I also turned off the Creative Cloud font stuff (which I use for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign work), but still nothing. Odd thing is that I did download an App Store version (which I bought a long time ago and forgot about, honestly), and it runs fine. Frustrating, though...

It's a license bought from Affinity, not the App Store...

I just moved from a Mojave-based iMac to a Catalina-based MBP 16. I downloaded the latest version of Photo, but it won't launch at all; it just crashes every time I launch the app. I've seen some reports of font issues with Photo crashes, and I do have a fair amount of fonts installed. That said, I work as a designer, and use a lot of fonts, and I had no issues with a similar setup on the iMac -- Photo ran just fine. I've attached my crash log for the most recent attempt... any help that anyone here can provide would be most appreciated. Rick Affinity Photo_2020-09-19-115420_irving-penn.crash
