Favourite fonts

Is there a way to copy Favourite fonts between Publisher and Design?

Hi Eddy-2,

There is no way to do this right now I'm afraid.

Thanks

Thanks Callum.

Given the number of fonts these days, it would be a useful feature to have.

The Affinity range (AP, AD, APu) shares so much right now, but in some aspects every application is having its own files / elements / whatever. The directory Common is nearly deserted (one DLL), so what it is the purpose of this directory? For future use? For future sharing assets, brushes, dictionaries, preferences, palettes, key shortcuts, styles etc. pp.?

Sharing more would be strong benefit.

One more question: Why do I have for all three applications three files of lens-correction-data.dat? Couldn't this be shared? And where could I make use of that e.g. in ADesigner?

It can be done by copying files around in the file system, at least on Windows, and at least when purchased directly from Serif.

For example, I could copy C:\Users\<my Windows username>\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\Settings\Fonts.xml into the corresponding Publlication folder, or vice versa.

That would also copy the recently-used fonts list. If I only wanted to copy the favorites I would have to edit the file, instead of copying the entire file., but that is also possible.

Thanks Walt.

I've tried your suggestion and it seems to have done the trick.

I took the precaution of copying the Fonts.xml files before making any changes, just in case.

You're welcome. And yes, be careful anytime you're mucking around with the internal files directly. I should have mentioned that.
