Edge 1050 datafield and Custom Fonts

I just want to ask, if anybody else has faced this problem:

It occurs on using custom fonts, but only on device Edge 1050, and it happens every now and then. It is definitely not a code error, because - as I sayd - it happens now and then, but only with Edge 1050:

Line 3349 is the first appearance of using the custom font myTINY_T in onUpdate(dc) :

dc.drawText( 10, 5, myTINY_T, "GPS", textCenter);

...and this font is loaded in initialize() without error:

myTINY_T = WatchUi.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.id_font_myTINY_T5);

Has anybody else seen this problem with custom fonts on Edge 1050?

can you catch an exception

I have tried a try/catch:

try { draw text using myCustomfont }
catch { draw text with built in font TINY }

Datafield crashes on try{} - what‘s clear after reading FlowState ‘s comment!

One - last - question:

If it would be a problem with graphics pool out of memory, then a crash should happen on loadResource()…?

Not sure (leaning towards "no" tho).

If you suspect that's the case, you could try calling get() on the return value of loadResource() (a FontReference), to see if the get() call crashes. Not sure if that would prove anything either way - it does seem that a different error would be returned if it the graphics pool runs out of memory:

I'm still leaning towards your issue being a bug in edge1050, as jim_m_58 also surmised.

Ok, thank you both for your input! Appreciate it
