Just because the fonts are working in other apps doesn't mean there isn't something about a particular font that's causing our app to not work correctly with it

Curious 😦

Is it possible to provide more information about the "Charging Period" you mention?

Sorry for my english. 80% of my words are written by google translate 😅 and maybe "charging period" may sound weird . I'll cut to the chase. For example:
1- (9:00 am) Click Affinity Designer Icon
2- (9:02 am) New document
3- (9:02 - 9:20 am) I do some graphics, sketches...
4- (9:21 am) I can now use any installed font 😃

I hope this helps. If you need any more details, how could you provide it?, any video?☹️

PD: Right now, I don't wait 20 min because I have less than 70% of the fonts installed. At 9:03 am I have all the fonts available😉

Best regards

How many fonts did you have installed before you reduced the number, and how many are left now? If you have several thousand fonts, I strongly recommend that you use a font manager so that only a few hundred are permanently installed, with others being loaded temporarily as required.

Well, between complete families, svg and normal, it could have more than 6000, I have lost the count ...😅

-How does that font manager work?
-Does it reduce font loading time or how do they work?
-Is there something that effective in Windows?
-Are they free?

Thanks and best regards

There are several available for Windows. Some have to be paid for, some are free for non-commercial use, and others are completely free.

There’s a free one here: http://www.xiles.net

Thanks for the quickly reply.

Doesn't it conflict with Affinity? I mean, doesn't it slow down my pc more?

A font manager can temporarily activate a font when needed in the program.
They are not installed in the system so makes loading faster as fonts need to be loaded to be used into affinity programs.
Some are free but may lack features:

Thanks for the reply.

Correct me if I am wrong:

With a font manager, I don't need to install the fonts on windows, I just indicate the folder, load them and when I want to use them in affinity designer, do I have them all available?
Is it that simple or have I not understood it well?

You point to a single font and it becomes activated to be used in the program.
This will be instantly available in the program.
 

Definitely, I need to see a video tutorial (if possible in Spanish) because I can't quite understand how this works. I will investigate on my own and I will try it 😅

But it sounds hopeful. Thank you very much for the help 😉
