    This will crash Illustrator (and InDesign and Photoshop) every single time without fail, all cc 2020 apps I've tested, specifically:

    InDesign 15.0.2, Illustrator 24.1, Photoshop 21.1.2

    I'm using OSX 10.15.3 Catalina

    Try this:

    –add a font to ~user/Library/Fonts/MyFontFolderName/ to install. Works with any font, but for example try Adobe's own wonderfully designed Source Serif Pro
    –make a new document in Illustrator, set some text in that font, eg: Source Serif Pro-Regular, save document (or don't save, same result)
    –move the font file, eg: SourceSerifPro-Regular.otf to a sub folder, eg: ~user/Library/Fonts/MyFontFolderName/AnotherFolder/
    –app will crash EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Once again, this happens with every font I've tried, fonts I've designed, fonts from Adobe originals, fonts from other foundries. Happens with OTF, and with TTF. I'm a type designer and I'm testing out new versions of fonts many times in a day, even many times in an hour, so this is very frustrating.

    FWIW, this only seems to affect Adobe apps. Other apps like Apple's TextEdit or Pages aren't affected by this at all.

    A normal user action like this, re-arranging font folders, shouldn't cause all Adobe Apps to crash every time. Please consider this a very high priority and fix ASAP. Thank you!
