Firstly, thank you again for Affiinty Designer. I'm really loving designing in it and how the features are growing! One thing which I would find really useful would be able to increase fonts by a single unit. I know that you can already use the up and down arrow keys for that, however you have to click out of the box for the new size to take effect. So, either please can the font scale as the units increase / decrease, in the same was as it does with the dropdown or can we have little up and down clickers next to the dropdown selector. Thanks. And, yes I created the very rough mockup in AD :D

Can you please add copy-pasting to/from Fontlab to Designer? I can copy/paste from Illustrator, but Fontlab 6 is way better for creating fonts. I can copy/paste from Illustrator to Fontlab and back again, and I can also do the same going between Designer and Illustrator, but it doesn't work between Fontlab and Designer. This is really unfortunate as I'd like to REPLACE Illustrator with Designer, but can't because of this workflow inhibitor. http://www.fontlab.com/font-editor/fontlab-vi/

In photoshop or even text applications like Word you can select a font by typing its name in the font search field. For example I want the font Myriad Pro .. I type "M" and the fonts if the initial M appears . In Affinity Photo/designer you have to go looking for the font, if you have many is a boring job. CorelDraw have really good font manager too... Could be just like him. Or be able to select different ways to find fonts. I for example use only some fonts, so a font manager like photoshop is good for me. On the other hand, for my wife the ideial would be an equal to the coreldraw she is a freelancer designer and works with several fonts types. CorelDraw font finder has preview of the fonts, which is great when working on several projects. I think it would be perfect for the Affinity Designer.- 6 replies

The Text Height field in the character panel could be more convenient if it was a +/- field instead of a pure dropdown menu. It's also not possible to change the values of any of the fields by more than +/- 1 by keyboard arrow input. If you press your arrow more than once your selected artwork starts moving up and down instead of the value of the setting. Thanks so much for this great piece of software and please never turn into an evil company like Adobe ;) -
I want to make text that looks like it has been written with a gold. Can some one please tell me if and how I can achieve this? I've attached some examples.

Hello, I'm using Affinity designer, and I created my own logo now is my question is it legal to use the font (Copperplate) in/as my logo with commercial background? Thank you for your attention to this matter! :) -
Hey guys, Since the 1.5.1 Designer update, I've had a problem with the font drop down menu when using text. It seems that a new feature causes the font that I'm hovering over to appear at the top of the recently used list. However, the font previews in the drop down are different sizes, so when they appear at the top of the list, everything gets shifted, and it has become impossible to choose certain fonts, simply because of the other two fonts they are between. Very frustrating! Does anyone have a fix? Is it possible to make the preview sizes the same, or eliminate this feature? Is there a preference menu for the font drop down list? Please see photo attached and notice the font with a check mark near it, but it is not included in my recently used. :( Thanks!

I have tried to drag a logo into affinity and it will not recognize the font even though I have added the font on my mac. On my mac it says the name of the font is 'timed' but the real name is 'romance fatal serif' so when i open on affinity it says it does not recognize the font. Do you have any suggestions as to how i can resolve this? Thanks -
Smart Font Workplace and Exportation
malachijubb posted a topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
I would love to see a special font module in Affinity designer that allows you to assign a object to a letter, for example you could ink the letter 'F' and then assign it to capital 'F' to a new or existing letters collection. Then in any affinity document you can select the font to instead source from the collections and the selected text will be converted to collections font that you created. It will operate just like a normal font minus that any modifications to to the original selected collections file font will be displayed as a live preview. It could work very similar to how swatches works with collections and you would be able to take the collection font file and work in it on another computer or device using affinity. And finally when you are happy with the font that you can export directly into a TTF OTF or Webfont. I have included a rough basic concept idea for the on display information and selection of letter by letter collections handle. -
Hi, i took a look to the devs roadmap, so i know it's full and i'm really waiting for that warp/distort tool ;) . But maybe one day you'll have the time to think about that : As a web designer, i'm using iconic fonts (like fontello sets of fonts), and i also use a font manager (of course). I've seen that i can put characters in the assets panel after copy/paste them from my font manager to my layout on affinity. So then i can reuse it afterward and that's pretty cool ! (as i can skip the copy/paste process), and i'm sure you know those fonts come with a stylesheet which name every characters... And your assets panel have a wonderful feature : search-box. So the idea is to be able ton import an iconic font (the all 2000+ in one clic gaahhh...) , with it's stylesheet (naming characters) et be able to use and search directly in affinity... Aannnd maybe, the coolest thing of all would be to be able to export the finished layout with it's iconic font (using only the few characters used in the design) with it's stylesheet up to date. Hope i'm clear enough ! Thx again , you rock guys i love your work as an old Firework user (finally switching) ! Cheers ! Bento

Hi Folks... I have asked this question on the apple support forum but have not received any guidance. I thought I would try here... I have been using AD on an iMac in my office. I was sent a font set by another designer to complete some work, successfully loaded it on to my iMac, and got the job done. I have since acquired a Macbook Air which I also use AD on while out of the office. I would like to get or copy or move?? the above mentioned font set from my iMac to my MacBook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance. -
I know I have inadvertently done this in the past but now that I want to --- I can't figure it out. IE; I am creating a design to print on fabric that is sort of a word toss of a child's name in several different fonts. My plan was to make each font for "jane" a different layer but may want to change that particular font/name to ' john' and when I change one it will change all those names in that font at the same time ---- I would appreciate the help. Thanks -
Hi, i was wondering, if there was a way to import an iconic font direcly into the assets panel to use the icons directly from it, than using my font manager to copy and past the characters i need. Like for example i oftenly use Fontello iconic fonts (in one single exported font of more than 2000+ characters) and i can paste them one by one in a text box on Affinity Designer, then i can drag'n'drop them in the assets panel. But as i said ... thats more than 2000 characters so... Is there a way to do it all in one action? Thanks again ! Bento -
Every time I open a pdf generated by matplotlib, Affinity Designer asks me to replace fonts, then thing look different. I tried following the instructions here to use True Type fonts, but it doesn't fix the problem. Attached file was generated with fonttype=42, and it still tries to replace the fonts. difference_normalized_absorption_moving_avg_font42.pdf -
I can't get the font dropdowns to work. Even the font size dropdown. I can't click anything and the highlighting is broken. When I click a dropdown option, it either does nothing, or the dropdown disappears and the text font goes back to the old font. Also the up and down arrow keys don't work. The font selected just moves the the topmost option when using the arrow keys.

It would be a huge advantage if we could search fonts not only by a first letter. It's achievable if the font selector will be replaced by an autocomplete solution like:

A few days back I was using Affinity Designer (Windows), designing a logo and modifying a pre-existing font to suit my needs when it hit me. I wanted to design my own font/fonts! I searched the web to find a program that might be good for this, but all the programs on the market didn't look too amazing. The interfaces looked clumsy, unappealing and even though I am sure that they are good, I felt as if they were limited and always needed a separate program to complement them for their lack in one area or another. In most of the videos and tutorials I watched, people tended to use Adobe Illustrator to make the letters and then import the paths into the font editor. So I thought to myself; "What if Affinity Designer would have a font editor built into it, or a stand-alone software that would have the amazing interface of Affinity Designer and its ease of use?". So my suggestion is, that it would be AMAZING to have/buy an extension for Affinity Designer to be able to edit and export fonts! I do know that it is not "just" programming an extension/add-on of that sort to Affinity, but I can't imagine it being too difficult either. I mean you have all the tools that are needed for the job and the extra "specific" tools for font editing could perhaps fit under a new persona in the upper left? A font persona. That would make Affinity even more of a killer software! It would be nice if you guys considered adding this. I mean I really like Affinity Designer and I will most likely buy it on release, but I would also love to buy a font editor from you since I know that you would make it easy and fun to work with!

While Beta testing the Windows AD and trying to learn what it can do, I used it to design a font. This image shows some of the font: And here is the address where you can view/download the font if you so desire.

Hello, I was working on a project and thought about one thing that would make my life easier : could you hide the font selection's rectangle while I'm browsing between fonts? I don't know how it's called in English but I am talking about the rectangle that wraps a font that is selected. Also that would be awesome to improve the font interface to make it easier to select fonts. Thanks a lot for listening to my two cents!

Hello every body ! Sorry for my bad english (I'm french) but I'd love to kwow if it's possible to create a font in Affinty Designer or if it's possible to add a fonctionnality like "Font Maker" (see here : https://youtu.be/ar06jNH3RX8)usually use in AI ? Many thanks for your answers ! Bye ! -
I imported a WMF (Windows Metafile) as an image, intending to export it as a PDF. The original font is NWCV15, a music font used by Noteworthy Composer software. As you see, the wrong font appears in the image. The right font is accessible, as the second image shows. DrawPlus X6 doesn't have this problem (except for slurs/ties, which don't appear at all).

It would be nice to have an option for the "default font size". This could also be saved within a document and be set as "advanced options" if one creates a new document.

Hi, when i try to open a PDF in AD 1.5.0.10, Star Time JL, a font pretty hard to read, is in every row for replace Fontfamily in the open dialog box. That doesn't make much sense? What can i do to change this, I didn't find an option in preferences. Also, its not possible to work with AD here on my maschine, when imorting a 200 and more pages PDF file, the program is hanging. All the pages are displayed on the artboard in miniature, after 1 - 2 minutes or so. Scrolling in the layer tab is nearly impossible, AD is hanging again, it feels, the program is overstrained concerning large PDF files. Win 10, 8GB Ram, i5-3570K (3.4Ghz)
