Font upload problems

Hallo team,

I am having real problems getting fonts that I upload to register within the app. I have followed the instructions here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-solution/help/cards-layouts.html

...but I can't get the fonts to register in my preview app when I assign them to card metadata.

I have rebuilt the app several times and reinstalled but no joy.

If anyone felt charitable enough to have a look at the code below and see where I have inevitably gone horribly wrong, I would be very grateful!

Hi guys,

Andrei (who owns our cards and layouts feature) was able to reproduce this issue in-house with the zip file provided by Ian. We're not sure why, but I've asked the App Builder team to investigate.

Hi,

Usually the issue with descenders being clipped is the font file itself and the way the baselines were set up in the font file. What solved the problem in the few cases we encountered was opening the font in a glyph editing tool and adjusting the cropping line them so it is lower than the descenders.
