    I know apps are crashing. We know that the firmware change causes app crashes for fonts that have unusual attributes. As far as I can tell this issue only occurs for fonts created manually by a developer, which is a very common trick used to efficiently do icons in watch faces. Right now I'm looking for anything that shows this problem isn't isolated to hand edited .fnt and .png files).

    The post from  is exactly what I'm looking for. If I can reproduce the problem with a font that is not hand edited, then this becomes a totally different issue than we had originally understood.
