@dcarvalho84,
That's good to hear. I'm glad that the issue has been resolved. It's difficult to know whether/when the guides were locked for the embedded files, but I'm guessing they must have been at some point. At least the resolution proved to be straightforward...

@Hangman that solved the problem. Thanks! But i don't know/remember if i've locked the guides when i've created the embedded document, but anyway i think this can be closed or deleted.  

The GM (Gold Master) build 2.6.0.3134 has been released to the forum. It contains one more bugfix than 2.6.0.3125
* Copying a Single Page Creates Ghost Pages When Copied Between Spread Pages 
this beta build has been released to keep the beta in sync with the release that will appear later today

Hi @Jon P didn't have more after this. I think you can close this.

Thanks. We have managed to reproduce it but I need a developer to try and figure out what's going wrong I'm afraid as there's nothing obvious within the file itself.
Meanwhile, can you provide a screenshot of your export settings from both 2.5 and 2.6?

Hi @Chris B done it! The file that doesn't have a version in the name is the original from the client. Please let me know if you need any more info. Thank you

Hi. I've a file that a client send to me in pdf, i have the need to place it in a publisher file and then export it to print (i have had this before and at that time i didn't put the attention this deserves) but the printed file is blurried, especially in text, but the text that my client send have the text as a font (when i open the file with publisher, if i have the same font i have no problem). I have done the exact same steps and exported a file in 2.5.7 and i end up with a much better crisp file regarding this... and you can already see it in reader (the difference)
I end up opening the file in publisher and paste in the document instead of place it in the document...
I can send the files but only with a private link.

Here's a list of the bugs which have been fixed in the beta build 2.6.0.3078
(fixes since the previous beta 2.6.0.3058)
Please reply in this forum to comment on any fixes which are in this list (in particular to let us know if you notice that something we say is fixed isn't!)

Hi @Hangman yes, i've edited the main post right after posting telling that in the downloads folder the behaviour was the same. Yes, unfortunately is the best preset to work with my Mimaki machine, but i will see what happen when using the X-3, i know that X-4 is not the best for it.
@Patrick Connor We hope a fix soon!

After today update i can't export pdf to my onedrive folder as you can see in the video.
Didn't test in the other 2 apps, but it's not looking good.
It's working ok in 2.5.7, i can export without any kind of trouble.
Edit: Can't export even to local downloads folder.
Seems a problem with the preset, i can export with X-3:2003 and X-4 and i've tested too with PDF for Print, but as soon as i use the X-1a:2003 can't export
Edit2: It's not working with Publisher too.
You can't even export a blank document with that preset.

Not yet, i've not had a full day of work in the apps in the last days, so that doesn't happened again yet, but as soon as i have it i will mention you again.
Thanks

I think honestly that for the thumbnails it's ok, for the quicklook preview, and since you guys are rewriting this it could be much better. I just think that for graphic design apps the quicklook preview is not acceptable sorry, a blurried image couldn't be what we get. Every other app i have in my machine produces a crisp clean quicklook preview, some of them produces almost a full screen high quality preview, and what we have from design apps is a blurried preview, sorry but you guys need to do it better. @Patrick Connor

@dcarvalho84 Thanks for the kind words and helping with support 😆 much appreciated!
@deepblue If you have any questions about Typeface app just let me know. But let's not get off-topic too much here, the original post is about fonts on Windows

@deepblue I can give you my opinion because i've used Rightfont for 3 years (since version5) and now i'm using Typeface app for almost a year. 
Both are great, in my work one thing i've used a lot in rightfont, besides the font management was the svg icons, that Typeface doesn't have but i've a Raycast extension that let me do this, so no problem. I think another advantage of Typeface is the sync with google fonts, i have the library almost always up to date without any effort. Another one is the price. Typeface app is more affordable, let you use the app in all the macs you have, and if you want to renew the license to continue receiving pro updates it has a good price for that. Rightfont is now with 30% discount but you need a license for every Mac you own. So if you ask me, go for Typefaceapp you won't regret. 
(I'm not sponsored by typeface app but i'm available @Floor 🤣)

@deepblue File -> Import -> Google Fonts

Hello dcarvalho84,
I've now tested the current version of Rightfont and Typeface. The Typeface 3 APP for the Mac is super fast and I think it's perfect for my purposes.
Both programs definitely have their advantages and disadvantages,
although I really like Typeface a lot.
"I think another advantage of Typeface is the synchronization with Google Fonts"
Unfortunately, I didn't really find that in Typeface.
Is it easy to synchronize Google Fonts?
Thank you again for your recommendation.
I'm going to test Typeface 3 for another 15 days and then buy it. Thank you dcarvalho84

Thanks, but given Hangman's response I'll have this reported without the customer file 

Hi @dcarvalho84,
I can confirm I'm seeing the same issue with multipage PDF files, even those created using Affinity apps... Someone at Serif should pick this up and mark it as a regression...

Hi, i'm facing a different behaviour when selecting objects between 2.5.5 and 2.6.0.
As you can see, when i click in a blank part it should deselect, as expected in 2.5.5, but in 2.6.0 if i click in a blank space it's selecting a layer, not what i expect, so i don't know if this is a bug or a new way of selection. Please let me know.

Hi @dcarvalho84,
This looks like a bug, I'm seeing the same behaviour on both Mac and Windows in the 2.6 Beta... It looks as though selecting an empty area is incorrectly selecting another Layer in the Layer's panel when it shouldn't be...

Just to add, it seems weird, sometimes it does, sometimes it won't, i will try to see in what specific cases this does happen.

Here's a list of the bugs which have been fixed in the beta build 2.6.0.2831

Well, not necessarily. Here's an example of what the Object Selection Tool thinks are the correct boundaries of an illustration part:

It's not always that bad, but this is where my assumption comes from that the models aren't really tailored to illustrations. Which makes sense because the problem above shows that it's just a bad idea to try to solve everything with AI just because it's available now: I'd certainly be much, much faster doing the selection with the Selection Brush Tool  - or with the Flood Selection Tool on the plain-colored background. This might apply to many illustrations and especially for the example @Andy05 provided above. If it weren't just for testing purposes, you'd use other tools to get the job done, and these have been available in Affinity Photo for a long time.
