Error opening InDesign and Illustrator 2021 on macOS Catalina

Unfortuantely I can not use InDesign Version 16.0 on my mac. 😞

To get sure that it has nothing to do with Mohave, I just updated my mac (from the end of 2015) to Catalina 10.15.7 and de- and reinstalled every adobe product. But still, when I would like to open InDesign, there is an error-message and the opening-process is interrupted. My colleague, who has the same mac (same year, same updates) doesn't have any problems. When I use InDesign version 15.1.2 everything's fine.

 

The same problem comes with Illustrator, but here, it just closes directly after opening (without any message or information).

Photoshop works.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. Product team is looking into this issue. While it is being worked upon, I'd request installing the previous version(v15.1.2) of the app. Please follow instructions on how to do that on this help article.

Apologies for the inconvenience. We'll get back to you once we have an update.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Your crash log suggests you have a corrupt font.

Remove / disable them in groups or one by one until you find the culprit.

Yeaaaahhhh! Thank you a lot for the help and the quick answer! After removing all manual added fonts it finally works!
It seems so have problems with some old fontfiles. Some fonts were installed on the computer and some on my personal account which caused also problems.

THANK YOU! I'm so happy that it works!

A corrupt font should still not crash InDesign.

Maybe @Ashutosh_Mishra can describe a way how you could pass those on to an interested developer …
