Bourquin Florian reacted to MEB in Future save
Hi @Bourquin Florian,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
If you need to exchange files/data with other people using Illustrator its probably better to use Illustrator as well. Although PDF's will keep some data editable/intact there's also others that will be lost/rasterised when exporting to PDF namely live Adjustments, Layers FX, some blend modes/transparency etc.

Bourquin Florian reacted to Dale in how to add fonts
Sorry if it appears rude to post a Google link - but I had to search online to find an answer for you, so you may as well see the information from the source to save me retyping it! :)

It's something you do in the operating system rather than in any one design program. To find fonts, consider searching for royalty free OpenType fonts or free fonts - it depends on your needs. Some well constructed and attractive fonts can be very expensive, and that may or may not be worth it for you. Some designers here can also add more useful tried and tested resources to help further.
Best wishes.

Hi Luiz A.
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
As Dale said you install new fonts through the OS, not in a specific design app. The design applications then access the fonts installed on your system. Here's two video tutorials that explain how to install fonts manually and using Font Book (a font manager that comes with OS X).
To get new fonts, besides buying them from online shops, you can also get some decent fonts for free from open source projects, and from some designers and type foundries (some offer one or two weights for free). One of the best resources for free quality fonts is Font Squirrel. Also check Font Fabric for some interesting Display fonts.
