deepnest app image worked on Ubuntu 17 but not on 20.04

The app image deepnest (a cad programme) will not work in Ubuntu 20.04. It worked in an earlier version (Ubuntu 17).

I have tried the gui and some command line things but nothing so far works. (Ps I have limited terminal skills!) Hi sorry its ubuntu 18.10 downloded, unziped rightclick and choose run it works, do same thing in 20.04, the blue icon spins but it does not run, one other reply has tried on thier pc and it works, so possibly a problem with my pc, Graphics card? in integrated graphics intell four core processor. I have since tried other distros(based on ubuntu 20.04) and none of them will run this app image, has anyone run a different app image sucessfully with the latest ubuntu,my other thought is maybe although i have ticked the execute box perhaps this is getting over riden by the system for security reasons, but i do not know how to check this, any ideas?

There seems to be an incompatability between the library versions of pango and harfbuzz on Ubuntu 20.04. One solution is downloading old versions of the pango libs to the same directory as the AppImage. The process is described at
