Embedded fonts are broken in MacOS Sonoma

[babypopdipstick]

Worried that this will still be an issue when Sonoma is officially released next week- currently is effecting all versions of Animate.

if you have a corrupt font, remove and replace.

The fonts are not corrupted and work fine on previous versions of MacOS and Windows. Adding ANY new font and embedding it produces this issue.

I think I am having the same issue with Animate + Sonoma!

I am working on a document using embedded fonts. After I updated to macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) all texts were silently changed to the font Helvetica/Regular. I cannot even change the font back to one of my embedded fonts (e.g. "FontBold*") - it immediately jumps back to Helvetica/Regular.

This did not happen when using the same version of Animate on macOS 13, just a few minutes before the update to macOS 14.

I already filed a bug report.

Yup! I'm having exactly what you describe. Animate 2024 is apparently going to be Apple silicon native, so hopefully this will be fixed in that version.

@schafsmann 

thank you.

[schafsmann]

Unfortunately, Animate 2024 on Apple Silicon does not solve this issue.

[babypopdipstick]

This is still an issue, and yes I have submitted feedback.

@babypopdipstick 

thank you.

I just upgraded to Sonoma and ran into this issue. Has this been fixed yet since this issue was discovered 9 months ago?

[babypopdipstick]

Nope! They seemingly don't care!

[cevansGames]

Wow! This is pretty critical. It basically broke the update I'm working on.

Did you come up with any work around?

[babypopdipstick]

Unfortunately no- I luckily had an older machine in my closet that I'm using. I submit this bug almost every week- feel free to join!

I am running Animate in a macOS 13.6 Virtual Machine using UTM (https://mac.getutm.app/)

Far from optimal, but it's the best I came up with.

[babypopdipstick]

update to latest! I think it's fixed???
