I thought the transition was very smooth - this go around.
I'm still a little amused that every year we need to update all of last years files to the new file format, thereby requiring us to 'batch convert' all of our libraries and pre-existing files.
It would be nice if on the roadmap, the file type could stabilize so that the same format could be used between different releases of the software.
OK - back to the topic - FONTS
We use 'Avenir Next Regular' as our standard font.
I favor a hierarchical look, so headings, titles etc. are in the 'Demi-Bold' version of that font.
In translating the file from v2020 to v2021, all instances of Demi-Bold were wiped out.
What a nuisance!! Keynotes, Worksheets, General Notes, Drawing Markers, Text Styles ... you name it.
It took A LONG time to restore everything within that file, and It looks like I'll need to do this manually to my Default Template as well.
But ... now I worry that any file I convert to the new format is going to lose this aspect of the text formatting and so ... a disincentive to upgrading.
If you use specialty fonts, check them carefully when converting.
