Custom font not working in iOS 10.3?

Post by ctflatt » Sat Apr 29, 2017 7:25 pm

I have noticed on 3 projects I am working on that custom fonts which previously worked (pre iOS 10.3) are not working. Can anyone verify this?

I am creating standalones with LC 9 dp 6, the same way I always have. While fontNames() returns the custom fonts as installed, they do not display properly.

Could someone check this to make sure it's not just me... it could be LC 9, but I'm not sure.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi ctflatt,

What you experience sounds like this bug: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19358

If this is the case, it affects only LiveCode 9.0-DP-X, so LiveCode 8.1.3 should work as expected.

Best,
Panos

Panos,

Thank you for the pointing to the bug. I believe it is a 10.3.1 issue, as I did not experience this problem prior to the iOS upgrade a couple of weeks ago. Additionally, existing builds that were working built with LC9pd6 are crashing at startup. This leads me to believe it's an iOS update issue as originally mentioned in my post.

Note that I did list fonts with fontNames() and my included fonts are installed. However, the default font is used wherever the custom font has been specified by its listed name.

I am testing on physical devices iPad Mini and iPhone 6, both updated to 10.3.1.

I will try a build with LC8 and report back.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
I'm having this problem too, on my iPhone 6s running iOS 10.3.2
I have three fonts added in copy files.
If I compile with LC 8 is see all the fonts.
With LC 9 DP 6 or 7... no fonts.
