preahkumpii Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 With all of the free fonts out there, I would love to see Affinity immediately recognize new fonts are installed while the program was running without having to restart the app. Right now, I have to save my work, quit the app, then restart it to recognize new fonts that I install. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Maybe this is not perfect but at least a sort of workaround. You can go to preferences and select reset fonts. The name is confusing but what it does seem to be reloading the fonts. ....Hope this helps! azhr and Phil_rose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_rose Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I agree with this. PagePlus started recognising new fonts on the fly several iterations ago and it's a great help. I think if Affinity wants to compete for pro status this will be a necessary update. Quote I like turtles!

Alfred Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 PagePlus started recognising new fonts on the fly several iterations ago and it's a great help. Having stumbled across this old thread, I thought it worth pointing out that none of Serif's 'Plus' applications can see newly installed fonts until you close the application and restart it; there was a font manager which could be integrated with some versions of PagePlus, allowing loading (i.e. temporary installation) of fonts needed by the current document, but that isn't quite the same as native functionality. Version 1.5 of the Affinity apps, on the other hand, refreshes the font cache whenever you install or uninstall any fonts.

Hofnaar Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 refreshing the fonts on the fly is already working here on my AP v1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's working here, too, but this thread was started eighteen months ago and then woken up again a year later, before version 1.5 became available. :) Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
