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

Don't you hate it when you're rushing to take notes and accidentally end up destroying the slide?

Whether you use the Microsoft PowerPoint app to take notes during an important business meeting or medical school lecture, this feature would help prevent accidental edits as you quickly draw on the slides.

Perhaps accomplished with a simple checkbox in the drawing toolbar, users would be able to lock the text/image elements on the slide and then be able to continue annotating without any worries of moving things around.

While the option to lock slides seems rather simple, it would actually be a HUGE feature for anyone using an Apple Pencil or stylus.

One reason so many students utilize apps like Notability and Goodnotes is that it much more easy and efficient to write on lecture slides when all the moveable elements are fixed. The downside of this is that it is not possible to make edits to the Slides themselves in the case of a typo or error.

If PowerPoint decides to incorporate this "lock slides" option, it would become an ideal note taking app for many. You are not only able to work on editing your Slideshow, but are also able to draw on the slides without damaging any of said edits.

In the current pandemic with so many people working from home or attending schools/universities virtually, this would truly help make a difference. With a single addition of a "lock" feature, you would be transforming the capabilities of the Microsoft iOS app and paving the way towards the future.

Please consider this development. Thank you.
