Could not load font in multi module project on Windows [custom font from server]

[tim-ebner-exxeta]

Description
Trying to use a custom font resource added in a second module on Windows with Paparazzi version 1.3.5 leads to following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not load font
	at androidx.compose.ui.text.font.TypefaceRequestCache.runCached(FontFamilyResolver.kt:207)
	at androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontFamilyResolverImpl.resolve(FontFamilyResolver.kt:92)
....
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to load font ResourceFont(resId=2131296256, weight=FontWeight(weight=400), style=Normal, loadingStrategy=Blocking)
	at androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontListFontFamilyTypefaceAdapterKt.firstImmediatelyAvailable(FontListFontFamilyTypefaceAdapter.kt:193)
	at androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontListFontFamilyTypefaceAdapterKt.access$firstImmediatelyAvailable(FontListFontFamilyTypefaceAdapter.kt:1)
...
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Font resource ID #0x7f090000 could not be retrieved.
	at app//androidx.core.content.res.ResourcesCompat.loadFont(ResourcesCompat.java:572)
	at app//androidx.core.content.res.ResourcesCompat.getFont(ResourcesCompat.java:413)
...

The error only appears on Windows. With Linux it works.
It also worked with version 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 on Windows

Steps to Reproduce
On you Windows Machine:

• Create a new Android project with Paparazzi 1.3.5
• Add a second module with a custom Font with Typography file where font is used
• Import he second module in your first module and use the typography
• Run Paparazzi test in first module

Minimal Example:
MinimalExample.zip

Expected behavior
I don't get an error when using a custom font.

Additional information:

• Paparazzi Version: 1.3.5
• OS: Windows
• Compile SDK: 35
• Gradle Version: 8.0
• Android Gradle Plugin Version: 8.7.2

Thanks & Best Regards

Verified issue is occuring on Mac OS as well.

Thanks for reporting!

Looks like the file path that is failing is something like this

Paparazzi/app/../typography/build/intermediates/packaged_res/debug/packageDebugResources/font/acme.xml

I have a hunch that ../ might be the culprit. Still investigating...

so in your provided repro project you are using a server font and not a locally provided font.
Need to see how/why this worked previously 🤔 ...

When testing with 1.3.4 I am still seeing the provided error. 1.3.3 has a separate error.

Thanks @geoff-powell for the fast response and taking care.

Sorry I've accidentally added the server font. If you add an locally provided font you'll get this errors as well.
For me it only occurred on Windows and 1.3.5 (with the locally provided font).

Do you need another example with a local provided font?

I am experiencing this issue as well. My current workaround is to copy the custom local fonts into the module with the screenshot tests.

this issue still exists in version 1.3.5 on windows 11 but not on Mac, suffering the same problem that can not load font in muti module, detail logs as below
