Font support in Office for iOS

Hello,

 

with iOS 13 Apple has introduced additional APIs for installing new systemwide available fonts (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/227). These APIs work as an addition to the possibility of installing fonts as configuration profiles.

 

Since iOS 14, Apple requires all apps in which the custom fonts should be used to make use of the new APIs, even if the fonts were installed as configuration profiles (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-14-release-notes#Fonts).

 

Office for iOS has not been updated to support the new APIs, which is why fonts that were installed through my iOS app "AnyFont" are not usable in the Office apps. Is there any way to accelerate or support the introduction of the new APIs to the Office for iOS apps or to get in touch with the development team?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Florian

    Dear Florian,

     

    Thank you very much for your effort pursuing this matter.

     

    I do not know why Microsoft still ignore this issue since it's has been more than 3 months now upon iOS and iPadOS14 coming out.

     

    I am trying to report this matter daily via there apps system.

     

    Hope you succeed contact with them soon.

     

    Regards,
