Can no longer Run Simulator or Run Target

[MThom.2]

I made a simple demo and was able to run it on my device (STM32H747I-DISCO v(1.0.0)) and I've been able to run it on the simulator. Since then, I've been building up the demo as a concept to show my company and I'm running into compile errors that I can't seem to fix. Here are the compile errors I receive, any help is appreciated!

Hello,

Could you provide the UI code in order to investigate ? It's a problem with the font but I don't know what exactly just from looking at the compiling errors as I don't have any context.

Hi Alexandre,

For some reason if you use Agency FB font, it names the typograph with a bunch of numbers in the code which caused the error. When I use Agency FB Bold it names it AgencyFBBold, so I just switched all my fonts over to that to resolve the issue. It also gets mad if I use in-between sizes like 35, it's like it has to be an even number. (which is probably for rendering fonts the correct size on a embedded display).

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. We will look into it.

Glad you found a workaround.
