Hi Livecoders.
I have an odd Mac standalone issue. I use FontAwesome for some icons, and those icons fail to appear only when the standalone is run from inside the Mac Applications folder.
The app is codesigned as a third-party developer ID using AppWrapper and verified. It is not for App Store distribution. Mac Sierra, Livecode Indy 7.1.4.
Anybody know why the font load is blocked?
Thanks,
Tom B.

Is the font included in the Copy Files pane of standalone settings?

Yes, it is.Is the font included in the Copy Files pane of standalone settings?
I have confirmed the font loads and works because when the app is not in the Applications folder, the icons that use the font appear as expected. The only time the font fails to load and display is when the same app is dropped into the Applications folder. (I'm using a MacBook Pro running Sierra. The App standalone was compiled on this same Mac using LC Indy 7.1.4)
Seems like a sandboxing / permissions problem. Everything else about the app runs normally.
Thanks,
Tom

That was my thought too, it's the permissions. I wonder if you have to code-sign the font file too.
