I'm seeing many reports of unhappy users with failing watchfaces. Please fix this as soon as possible Garmin.

    I'm on a Mac en therefor are using the Hiero tool to convert my fonts. The Roboto font (free download on Google Fonts) causes this issue for example.

    When I manually set base height equal to the size of the 0 char in the .fnt file it works. So I've been through a lot of work to manually adapt all font files for all devices on all my products. It's just super odd this is suddenly handled differently on the FR645M device, while it even still works on the Simulator.
