I figured that out yeah - not sure what "by Serif" means though on that thread I mentioned - how can a font be designed by the style or font category it's from ? Badly worded

If anyone knows any good places to look - I'm not sure about some of these free font websites I found a good one on this thread which I'm going to hopefully post as plain text now and it will stop embedding some giant animated thumbnail !!!!!? (just had to refresh the page three times and rewrite all this) The thread is called Curated List of Free Commercial Use Fonts and sorry but this platform is refusing to let me copy a link in in a sensible form - so why don't I just post the link to the font on there called METROPOLIS 1920 by Serif Metropolis 1920 - Download Free Font (befonts.com) It just links to some spamvertising click bait website where I can't even see a link to download the font - only what looks like a link that is probably going to take me to some other garbage webpage I'd rather steer clear of Is this really a Serif Font and if so is it available directly from Serif maybe ?

That's what I thought was being said - not sure why the segway into highlighting the need for access to storage location though which ultimately confused me there

I was just hoping for a few suggestions and not an in depth discussion - the question is specific to my needs on this project so it doesn't really warrant a thread of it own in my view since it probably won't be of interest to anyone else specifically It's for a tour poster for a band - I don't want to say too much but I was aiming for something to reflect 1950's sci-fi animation - a flying saucer attack perhaps ? no it isn't for The Rezillos and no the band haven't asked me to do this it will probably just always be Fan Art Put it in a new thread if the site rules dictate - I guess maybe a new thread in an forum more to do with art as opposed to art software might be a better place to ask - or I could just have a look around the internet myself ? If anyone can link me up or recommend a site for downloading fonts that's legit and safe then I'd appreciate - although I think someone may have already done that in some post above..

Never heard of that - sounds maybe useful but what do you mean about Storage Location are you saying I access it from a different location or what do you mean there ? Sounds like it's tempted fate also - I can work with current workarounds no bother so anything like this at this stages seems not really worth the bother

Does anyone really use or like Ravie Font ? Sounds like a Scottish Jazz Club Singer 🤪 I picked it as it fitted in with the general oeu·vre of the piece I'm working on - but if there are any alternatives out there anyone can recommend I could look at ? Just not 100% happy with it - more 80%

Thankyou - I am however well acquainted with CTRL+J which is more or less central to my entire work flow 👍

Whatever - My Bad for not understanding how fonts work It's not anything that will cause a massive problem since fonts can be added at any stage and they can be converted to curves also

Some thread on here - I don't remember perhaps I misinterpreted someone As it is and I'm not saying there isn't any but for my personal uses I have yet to find a use for Publisher than I can't do on Designer

I thought I was getting unique fonts with Publisher - is this not the case then?

Well forgive me if I have this wrong but one of the selling points that convinced me to buy the full V2 suite on offer was the range of fonts I would be able to use on Publisher - so I was told when I asked last year and that this was one of the features that made Publisher worth having - but I've seen nothing new on that front since I started using it and now this

So you're saying to transfer a text with a certain font over from Windows to iPad I have to download a free file from a third party site and add it to the iPad version ? Got to be honest there were a few minor annoying inconsistencies in the functionality between the iPad and Windows - maybe I'm somewhat unique insofar as I work between Win and iPadOS whereas most others probably work between MacOS and iPadOS - but certainly I think some better thought needs to go into standardising the functionality of these apps across platforms If I can download these missing fonts and add them then why don't the developers just add them for me/us ? I'll convert to curves and get round it that way - I don't have time to learn new under the hood tricks I just want an app that works across platforms

This is a Third Party App that comes with it's own Fonts - I don't see what standard fonts that come with the OS's have to do with it

I just assumed they would be there as standard as I've not installed any fonts on anything - I've only installed effects and stuff - why doesn't the iPad version just have the same fonts by defaults ?

And the app just crashed there too.. 🤦‍♂️ Is the iPad version crashing going to be always be a standard feature of the software going forward then - because this problem it seems to me has been there throughout the whole time I've used Affinity on the iPad

I saved an AD2 file to the cloud and reopened and one of the fonts on some text boxes changed It was supposed to be Ravie but it changed to something else when I opened the file up on the iPad version and in the context toolbar it says ? Ravie in red writing

Just using Publisher V2 to create a poster - actually moving in between that and Designer (one of the best features of Affinity is the ability to open files in other apps easily) But I still can't see what use Publisher is to me - what can it do that Designer can't ? for my purposes anyway at first glance Someone said a while back there are more Fonts but all I can see is the same selection of Fonts that's on Designer and Photo ? Are there additional Fonts that are specific to Publisher ?

That's the dandy 👍 Within the Node Tool - of course Your explanation above could just have been "you have to select the Node Tool" though not sure why I need to have the Move Tool selected in order to select the Warped Layer - but anyway cheers - a simple fix is the best fix 💡

Finding a use for this feature in a new design I'm working on - which is really cool I hope this one sprouts some wings I'm having difficulty going back into objects - in this instance a Text Box - to adjust the amount of warp etc. I can't find the settings in the context bar and the only way I can find to get them back is you apply the same function Layer > Warp Group > Bend Horizontal but when I do that it seems to reset the box and just bugger everything up How do I get the settings back ? I tried a quick search and the first hit was a thread on bugs that's still need sorting so maybe that's what this is - hopefully just me not knowing what button to press again though

Sorry I got distracted - it's not happened again so probably hit a button or something I'll revisit this thread and figure it out if it happens again Cheers

To hell with it - I just copied the layers I've put down into another document and it's working as supposed to now

I just created another document and it's doing what it's supposed to there - I've obviously hit some setting but I can't see this icon - anywhere!

Probably Can't see the icon on my toolbar though ? Draw curves and shapes (affinity.help)

I'm laying down some basic vector shapes - closing them - for a new project For some reason I can't work out though it's no longer creating a new layer when I close an object and starting laying down new points - what am I doing wrong ? has some setting changed ? What button have I pressed ?

How come I always keep getting tripped up with this short key - Z ? It's useful for switching in between zoom and whatever function I'm using - sometimes though it is determined not to work so I end up clicking back and forth with the Z and then before you know it I've ended up moving some layer off the page and then also I can't get it back because then CTRL-Z then refuses to work ! 😠 I keep going through the same crap time and again and I need to figure out if this is a software glitch or something I'm not doing right ! It should show the + icon sign for zoom but sometimes it's slow to appear or doesn't appear until I start zooming using the left mouse button and holding it down
