Hello everyone,

the issue still persists in the now live iPadOS 14 version. Is there an ETA on when this bug gets fixed?

No ETA But The developers are aware of the issue

Not sure if this helps your developers to smash the bug, but I upgraded to iOS 14 and my Designer on iPad yesterday. I already had a few fonts installed in Designer before the upgrade. Now, when I click on Preferences > fonts tab the app crashes.

I would also like to add to the list of users this is effecting. Designer is dead in the water for me without the use of external fonts. Is there at least some workaround that will allow me to keep working? ETA to a fix?

One way to install new fonts is to downgrade to iPadOS 13.7.

Same on iPad Pro iOS 14 but I was also having issues with app crashing before update

Does using the system profiles approach to installing fonts not work?

Don’t feel bad. Everyone who updated to iOS 14 has this problem. 😀

You can still Install fonts via a third party app until a fix is available.

Having the same. Designer version 1.8.4.4. I'm not on a Beta build.

It sucks that we are all facing dealing with this issue but at least there’s enough of us for a fix to be worked out I guess🤣

Same happening with my iPad Pro 12.9 2020 model. Fonts tab triggers a crash. Any workarounds?

You guys are awesome. Just got the update and this bug was squished! I’m back on my project and wrapping it up. I see the text boxes support Apple Pencil now too! No more jumping on the keyboard! Thanks for this. The problem popped up for me just a couple days ago so this is quick as far as I’m concerned.

Can confirm. I can now work with fonts natively again.
