Hi, I'm Dale, copywriter, tech author, blogger, demonstrator and a few other things. I've joined the Mac lads (and ladies) so I can use and abuse Affinity titles and other Mac software and help make it shine on our website, in the press, and social media accts.
 
If you think the way Affinity apps are described is inaccurate or missing the point, hit me up and I'll make it better. If there's a tutorial you're desperate for, let me know and I'll raise it with the documentation team.
 
FYI the soppy little cat in my avatar is Rorschach.

He's definitely soppy, he loves morning hugs and nightimes asleep on my feet about as much as I do.

Affinity Animator could be amazing, better than a bloated Affinity Designer IMO.

Sounds like a candidate for another Persona, as an add on after the core apps are developed.

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.

Yes. an update of our macOS releases will be available very soon that will run on for Apple silicon hardware as our current 1.9.0 Photo beta does already. 1.8.4 will run just fine on Big Sur and will even run on Apple silicon (in compatibility mode), but all subsequent releases will be "universal applications" that run natively on any mac hardware.

Congratulations on this huge milestone. All three of the first apps conceived as part of an Affinity suite or platform, almost all on three OSes (incl a flippin tablet), with a single file format, saveable history, blistering speed, and a seamless workflow.
Not too shabby at all – well done to the whole team! Watched the Live video today, good to see so many Serif friends in it

Welcome to the forum, snuffles.
 
I think the team could be adding JPEG XR output in future along with deeper colour support.

Hi Ahlam, you'll need to export from Affinity Designer in a format that Illustrator can open, say PDF. You've mentioned trying SVG, you can also try EPS if PDF Doesn;t work for you.
 
If the SVG didn't work for your friend, you could submit it here and explain what was wrong with the process, maybe it can be improved.

Thank you for the update, Serif famalam.
