Unrecognized font family Unica77LL-Regular

Hi all,
i tried to run the app and after doing all the steps of the readme.md the app starts but there are errors caused by Unrecognized font family Unica77LL-Regular.

Hi @morrys thanks for taking the time to let us know 🙌

Unica is a proprietary font that we have a license to bundle with the app, but unfortunately we don't have a license to provide it for use by open source tinkerers.

Once upon a time we had the app set up so that it would use fallback fonts when the user didn't have Unica available on their device. It looks like some piece of infrastructural work we've undertaken in the past year or so has prevented the fallback fonts from working so I'll raise it on our internal issue tracker and we'll decide if and when to fix that behaviour.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you could edit the source code so that all mentions of Unica (and probably Garamond and Avant Garde) are replaced with fonts available on an iOS device. You can see a list here. I might recommend PingFang to replace Unica, HoeflerText to replace Garamond, and maybe Futura to replace Avant Garde.
