Hard crash when activating fonts outside of AD


Recommended Posts

I used to have the MAS version of AD, but I deleted this and bought AD direct from Serif because this version isn't sandboxed. I used to face permission/save issues when I reached (often) the limits on active files under Apple's sandboxing environment. (I deal with a lot of fonts in my work, so I always have a base set of a couple of thousand active). I've not seen that issue since getting the non-sandboxed version, but I get hard crashes on v1.8.1 that seem related to those others are reporting around fonts.

As soon as I activate a new font outside of AD (in Typeface or FontExplorer X Pro), AD crashes. Under AD 1.7x I was always able to activate fonts, go to AD's preferences, clear the font cache, and be able to use the newly activated fonts without closing and restarting AD.

Not now.

Hi ianrobertdouglas,

Has the 1.8.2 release fixed this for you? We've made some changes to the font loading in 1.8.2 that was causing crashes for Windows users when starting the app. I would like to think that this has also helped the situation for yourself.

Thanks,
