Fontbase won't work on my M1 MacBook Pro

Bugs
#1

Migrated to my new M1 MacBook Pro.

All the right info is still there in FontBase, which open fine, but none of the fonts will activate.

It just shows a pink message Botton right saying ‘Could not activate’.

Hoping to get this resolved soon as it’s really impacting my workflow! Thanks

Please include the flowing when reporting a bug:

  • Operating system version
    OSX Monterey latest
  • FontBase version
    2.16.6
  • What actions caused the issue
  • If possible, attach a screenshot

Have you moved and selected the root folder with your fonts correctly?

Hi Dominik. Thanks for this response. No, I don’t think I did. The right folder was copied over to the new machine, and Fontbase is pointed at it, but when I look in the folder all the fonts are light greay, like they are not there…

Any idea how I can fix? Thanks!

I am not sure what this grey files mean, FontBase does not change files in this way.
Try deleting everything from the Google provider and then try activating the fonts.
