Selecting Material Symbols font immediately crashes InDesign 2026

We use Google's Material Symbols fonts for icons in our documents. This works fine in InDesign 2025, but if I open a file containing Material Symbols in InDesign 2026, it immediately crashes. The same goes for assigning the font to text within a document. Immediate crash.

Maybe you could patch up to the current 21.2 (which is now widely available) and see if the problem persists?

I have exactly the same issue, the fonts worked before and in other adobe apps are fine... except Indesign.

Mac OS
15.6.1 (24G90)

Indesign
21.0

Also, did you migrate preferences when you installed v21 (2026)? It's the default, unless you uncheck it.
