iPad Crash: Font Settings - Reproducible

[SlappyAUS]

I have just purchased Affinity Designer 15 minutes ago and have a crash scenario.

I went to the fonts section on the settings, and added a TTF font that was stored on the iPad.

Crashed. Now It crashes every time I go to the font section in the settings.

The font works fine in other applications.

iPadOS 14, iPad Pro 2020.

What can I do to recover it? I have not even put my first mark on "canvas" yet. :(

Hi SlappyAUS,

Unfortunately this is a known issue that is caused by the new iPadOS 14 update. Adding a font will cause a crash, as will accessing the dialog after adding a font.

Until we can get an update the best option is to unfortunately just avoid that font dialog.

Will do, thank you.

Ironically the font works fine and shows in the editor with no issues

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Adding a font into the Apps will cause iOS 14 to crash) of the program in the latest release.

The fixes and how to update are described in these forum posts.

• Affinity Designer 1.8.6 for iOS                      ( Apple iPad Store )

We would appreciate you checking that this issue has now been resolved for you.
