curtis_chang Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 [update] The bad apple that makes 1.8.0.526 crash , while loading fonts at startup, is following two Chinese fonts. After removing these two fonts, everything get back on track. Note: Following two fonts work pretty well on previous version but failed on 1.8.0.526. 超研澤疊圓體.ttf 超研澤空疊圓.TTF
Staff Sean P Posted January 7, 2020 Staff Posted January 7, 2020 Hi curtis_chang, Thanks for taking the time out and hunting down the two fonts. I've reproduced the crash here and will get it passed on to development!
Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 23, 2020 Staff Posted January 23, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to the font handling in the latest Windows customer betas. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Photo 1.8.0.532 for Windows Affinity Designer 1.8.0.532 for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Windows These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. #when using beta builds, please work on copies of your files, as 1.8.0 uses a more advanced version of the file format than 1.7.3 Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
