Hi there, even though the topic doesn't really belong here because it concerns desktop versions. I wanted to postt it here anyway, because I haven't gotten any reaction to it yet. Maybe you can put it in an appropriate place? Regards Paul

Hello, Since I'm using Affinity Apps version 1.8, the fonts in the lists are displayed multiple times when I select them. I use Font Book (Mac OS App/High Sierra). There the fonts are divided into 'Computer = installed with macOs' and 'User = installed later by user'. You can also create selection lists there. Affinity makes no difference between 'Computer' and 'User'. They are displayed together in 'All Fonts'. However, the apps use the lists created in the Font Book for the selection (language, Web, PDF, and so on). That's great! When I make an initial selection from 'All Fonts' in a new document, each font is only displayed once. But when I then select fonts from the selection lists, they are already displayed twice. After changing the selection lists several times, the fonts are even displayed three times. In all three apps I have already reset the fonts via 'Settings/Miscellaneous/Reset Fonts' - no change. In Font Book no fonts are installed twice or have errors. There are no problems when using them, no matter which of the fonts I select from those displayed multiple times. The fonts are also embedded correctly during export. With larger font families, however, it becomes really confusing, because the sorting sometimes gets mixed up ... This is the same in all 3 apps. Is this a bug or is there a reason for it? Any ideas? Thanks for a reply. Paul

Gee, a little embarrassing. I already looked in Preferences … Missed it. Thank U, thomaso! (As usual, the problem in front of the computer ...🤭)

Thanks for the quick response. Fortunately, the font names are all displayed correctly - in my case in German. It's just annoying with larger font families like Praktika Rounded, because styles and weights are not displayed in the correct order. But when exporting to PDF the fonts are embedded correctly. It doesn't matter which of the double displayed fonts I choose. Yes, complicated in macOs too. Think I'll wait what happens with the next update … I miss the solution like in QXP. Very well done.

Hi there, updated my Affinity apps yesterday to version 1.8.1. Everything's okay with the files I've opened so far. But some fonts are now displayed twice. This only affects those I loaded as user. The system fonts are displayed correctly. This is the same for all 3 apps. The loaded fonts are just about 70 families, most of them professional OTF and combined in a collection in the Font Book (App macOS High Sierra), because I don't always want to search the whole list ... I just checked the Font Book again: no font is installed twice or has any errors. So far I never had problems or the strange bugs with the list of fonts as described by you. Does anyone have an idea about this and is there any way to 'clean up' the font cache? Thanks for an answer. Paul (And yes, English is also a foreign language for me 🙂)
