Spent 4 hours on a font issue that should have taken 10 minutes

Client wanted last minute changes to their brochure layout and the fonts kept breaking across different programs. Turned out their custom font file was corrupted and I had to re-download it three times before it worked. Has anyone else had a tiny technical glitch eat up an entire afternoon right before a deadline?

and it's wild how the smallest hiccup always hits right when you have zero spare time.

Just four hours over a font... feels like maybe you're overthinking it a bit. A corrupted file is annoying but it's hardly a crisis.

Keep a backup of every font file on your desktop next time, saves hours of re-downloading.
