um…it’s not by Adobe?

I get as far as the opening screen, then it crashes with no input from me. I tried a clean install and a reboot, same result. I attached Apple's Problem Report as rtf doc, hope this is useful. Keep up the good work, team! AD Problem Report.rtf

Try: Preferences: General: Keep items on Clipboard on application exit I noticed this preference had been reset when I updated to 1.2. Good luck!

Andrew Tang, I can confirm that removing font Monotype Onyx SOLVED my problem, Photo Beta now opens fine and stays open. I'm running System 10.7.5. This font had been causing problems with Affinity Designer as well, problems also went away when I removed font. Thanks! --Brian

THANK YOU Alex! I went to Font Book and disabled that very font -- Monotype Onyx version 1.51-- even though Font Book had "validated" it. Sure enough, when I re-launched Designer Beta the problem was gone, the Character panel now works as I had hoped (wonderful!) and all is right with the world. You are a hero, I assume you will be getting free upgrades for life from Affinity? Invalidating the font also improved the behavior of Affinity Designer 1.1.2 (not Beta), although Character panel does not work as it now does in the Beta version. Thanks again, much appreciated-- --Brian

I'm running System 10.7.5, I have 582 fonts installed. In Affinity Designer, I'm able to (using the "Font" selector) choose and use any of these fonts with no problem, able to apply Outer Shadow, able to Convert to Curves, able to export PDF faithfully (even when not choosing to "Export text as curves…"), etc. However, when I invoke the Character window, many fonts become unchoose-able and unusable from that point on (even though they are still listed in the Font chooser). Previously chosen fonts revert to Arial. If I quit and restart everything's fine again (as long as I don't use the Character window). In Designer Beta 1.1.2.23562, these same fonts are no longer even listed -- what's going on? These are not suspicious free-download fonts, they are fonts I have used regularly (and have no problem using in Designer as described above). Help! I hope the fix retains the parallel structure of the Character panel following my Font Book designations, it's for me an ideal way to quickly choose fonts that I have identified as belonging to certain collections. Hope this is useful -- keep up the good work Affinity, I love the program (and the Photo Beta, too).

Sorry to say I too am experiencing a crash every time I try and launch the new Photo Beta 1.1.2.23663, here's that same string in my Apple Problem Report: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil' --hope this helps, keep up the good work Affinity!

I'm running OS X 10.7.5, and also experience the Help text clipping problem in AD, AD beta, and AP beta. When in Help, If I navigate via the scroll bar at the bottom of the page to the right so the whole body of text is now visible, the text wraps as I expect it to when I resize the window. But the index column to the left is now out of frame. When I navigate to the left to bring the index column back into view, the right edge of the text is now out of frame. Keep up the good work, Affinity, well done!

Option-hyphen and option-shift-hyphen don't yield the en and em dashes—where are they? Great program all considered!

When I choose a font from the drop-down, the name highlights as I draw the cursor down the list and when I click, the new name shows up in the Font toolbar, and the character is redrawn appropriately (including in the Navigator, nice) -- for some fonts. For others, the click is ignored (even though the highlight behaves as usual, flashing once) and the screen defaults to Arial. As I have been testing this, I notice that sometimes the font list is set in the named fonts (fonts are displayed), sometimes only some of the names are in their fonts. This does not correspond with which fonts I can successfully choose. In one of my tests everything seemed to work as expected until I invoked the character window. In none of my tests has the information at the bottom of the character window reflected the set-up of my Font Book, a feature I really liked in the last version. I also like how the font menus remain at the font you last chose instead of always resetting to the top. Thanks Dave!

I am not able to access many (most) of my installed fonts. I've been waiting for this update, assuming the issue would be addressed. What am I doing wrong? I'll type a word with either the Art Text tool or the Frame Text tool. I'll select the word, when I type command-t, the character window opens (slowly, and sometimes only after I type command-t a second time), and the "collections/family/style" area at the bottom shows my whole collection of fonts, and reflects my Font Book categories, but doesn't actually work. Choosing fonts from the Font drop-down is equally frustrating--the menu shows all my installed fonts, but won't actually let me choose many of them. I can't figure out the difference between the fonts I can choose and the ones I can't. I can choose any and all in InDesign, so I don't think the fonts are at fault. Very pleased to be working with Affinity Designer, all my old Freehand files are being resurrected, keep up the good work!
