[Bug Report] Web Designer Windows 11 crashes when opening font dropdown on elements using Anton font

Summary:
Selecting a text element or pre-made container that uses the Anton font and then clicking the font selection dropdown/picker causes CoffeeCup Web Designer to crash instantly.

Steps to Reproduce:
Insert or select any pre-made container element set to the Anton font (or select an existing element using Anton).
Click the font selection dropdown/control in the Typography panel to change the font.

Result: Web Designer crashes immediately.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken (Issue Persists):
Cleared the system font cache.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the Anton font on the system level.

Temporary Workaround Found:
Perform a full uninstall and reinstall of CoffeeCup Web Designer.

Reopening the project immediately after a fresh install provides a brief, temporary window where the font dropdown can be accessed without crashing.

Replacing all instances of Anton with a standard web font during this window prevents future crashes. However, once the crash loop triggers again later, only reinstalling the software resets the window.

Environment / Question for Devs:
The issue appears to stem from how Web Designer parses/renders the Anton font in the font picker preview menu.

Is there an internal software cache, config file, or temporary project directory I can clear manually to reset this window without needing to perform a full app reinstallation every time?

Believe this should go in your support room for the administrators to act on.

Using Site Designer latest version
Using Foundation 6, Bootstrap4, Materialize, Frameworkless

No Crashes experienced for me, but if I select a different font, then decide to go back to the ANTON font, it doesn't change back to ANTON it uses the fall back font

And then no matter how I try to get the fo nt back to ANTON, nothing happens at all, but Site Desi gner doesn't crash, neither does Windows
