Staff stokerg Posted January 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi HotUnluckyConfusion and Welcome to the Forums, Can you attach the PDF/AI file shown in the screenshot? Also do you have the Fonts used in the PDF installed on your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotUnluckyConfusion Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I attached the pdf file, the .ai file is big and it will upload too long. But the problem in both files is the same. Yes, I have all the fonts (in fact, later in the file affinity uses the same font correctly). DominikSeroczynski_PortfolioCV.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think this is going to be font related. If you see the attached screenshot, Affinity is picking up some of the text as being in a font called: Source Sans Variable It does appear there is a variable font called Source Sans Variable HOWEVER as we don't support Variable Fonts at the moment, i suspect this is why the text is removed. If you have access to the AI file, you should be able to edit the Text and change it to a non-variable Font, re-save as PDF and that will open fine in Designer.

mpowell Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 A particular font has to be installed for it to work.. I found the font on 1001 free fonts website;Sans Variable Roman>Click on the Download link. >Save As. >Goto the directory the font was downloaded. >Right-click on the font. >Select "Install for all users".

HotUnluckyConfusion Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 The font that you link below, is Syne Font, not SourceSans. And i have got Source Sans, just Illustrator transform it to Source Sans Variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
