User fonts not working in Word for iPad after iOS 11

I have been using Microsoft Word for iPad to write and edit documents for a while now and it has been working well. I have some custom fonts installed on my iPad, and those have been working great with Word as well. Until iOS 11. After I updated my iPad to iOS 11, I got an error message every time I opened a file that relied on my user-installed fonts: “There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font.”. And the file closes and/or stays open but doesn’t display my fonts. Is this a known issue? Anyone experiencing this?  I’m hopeful that this will be addressed in the first post iOS 11 update for Word, but I haven’t seen anything about it online.

    Hi Ran,

    Joining others in saying that it is really frustrating that a service we pay monthly for cannot provide a timeline for resolving this issue for customers. I’ve been unable to use the product for work purposes for almost a year at this point becuase of this issue. We are now headed into a new iOS release with this matter still not resolved. The least MS could do is release a timeline.

    Hi.

    As I succeeded to install a font that Word have recognised, it's OK for me to do a test for you. Send me one of your most wanted font and a test document.

    Cheers.
