      You certainly are able to load fonts on a self signed app, don't know where you got that information from.

        We got a pull request from someone to enable the fonts entitlement, except they couldn't test it because it costed them money to do so. You can see so yourself here: https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/dev21218dfd6 https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/dev21218dfd6

          That is a permission to install a font system wide, not the same thing

            No, it isn't. To be able to access certain user-provided fonts, you need that entitlement.
