I can't understand how to fix a font in FontForge. No idea what I am supposed to be looking for!

Thanks again. I must say that my experience of free font sites is that they do one font family download zip. I have found it is the pay sites that take you to individual pages for each font rather than a complete family download. I'll have a try of TransType.

Can you expand on that? Thanks.

I'm still not sure, as this is happening with quite a few fonts, that, prior to me reinstalling Windows, worked OK with Designer/Photo.

I'm not saying it's legit, I'm saying it works OK in other apps, just not Affinity products.

I know what you mean, but not sure that is the answer here. See attached for same font above that shows perfectly well in Windows font settings.

I have installed various fonts, and some just don't show correctly in Designer/Photo. Example attached. I'm going mad with this! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Patrick.

I still say, that the best workaround here - and it still seems crazy to me that we have to use one - is editing the title in Photo for those who have it.

We have shown workarounds here already. The simplest is to use Affinity Photo to change the title of the Designer-exported pdf. That is not really the point here, I feel. Why should we not be able to edit the title of a document that Designer created in the first place? Why should we have to use Photo or Publisher to do this task when it should - in my opinion - be a basic function of the app that is creating the document.

We’re not talking about MacOS or Windows, we’re talking about Designer retaining the title of a previous save when a pdf is exported, and not being able to edit it! This causes lots of issues, particularly when the file is linked to in a web site.

Good grief! No one is talking about file names. We’re talking about how to edit the title.

I see the same thing on Windows. I can't believe that this can be correct behaviour. We can change the title in Publisher or Photo but not Designer. We can export the pdf in Photo from a Designer file which shows the correct title in Windows/Mac file system, but does not show when reloading into Photo.

It seems completely crazy that this can be done in Publisher (which I don’t have) but not in Designer.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. I'm trying to change it, that's the whole point of this thread! Please tell us how.
