These updates were not compromised but incorrectly programmed and not tested carefully enough. And your AI-powered antivirus software seems to be just as badly programmed and sends false positive notifications. If in doubt, upload the affected files to Virustotal.com and have them checked. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

Hello @Kevin Johnson and welcome to the forums. Let me put it this way, if you have never worked with a design program before, the biggest challenge for you will be the training period. But, the community here and many Youtube videos will help you to familiarize yourself with Affinity Designer. And I'm sure you won't miss the curve ruler once you're familiar with Affinity Designer. The Affinity programs also work with iPad and stylus; the only thing to note here is that some functions that are available in the desktop version may be missing.

But then it's not the same problem. This font package has never been downloadable via the account area in the programs. Are the fonts displayed in other programs or just not in the font selection palette in the program?

You can find this font package in the download area when you log in to the Serif Store. https://store.serif.com/sign-in/

@MatthewH please read here:

Send an email to affinity@serif.com, state the user name and the email address used/connected in the email, a Serif employee will then get back to you. Of course it would be easier to provide a button so that you can do it yourself as a user.

I don't think this also applies to the add-ons, but only to the programs.

Hello and welcome to the forums, @hugokillerkarpfen This already exists, at least for Affinity Designer and Publisher. To pass on documents with used fonts, there is the option Save as package. When the user opens the package, the fonts are stored in a temporary cache for use in the document.

Hello @Lax69 and welcome to the forums. Your account was probably not yet activated. Just try it again.

Helllo and welcome to the forums, @Thiago Vilela You have activated folder monitoring (ransomware protection) in Defender, have you also added Affinity Photo to the exception list there?

Both versions (MSI/EXE and MSIX) working fine for me too with static and variable fonts.

Hi @Rodewyn and welcome to the forums.

Hello @artistmichaelking and welcome to the forums.

Hi @Basics and welcome to the forums. You can try the 180 days trial version. So you can test and see if the Affinity programmes are fitting your needs. https://affinity.serif.com/

Hi @Petar Petrenko A little patience, a Serif Staff moderator will post you a private Dropbox link.
