Some Postscript Fonts not available

[Laura F]

I noticed while working on a document today that some of my Postscript fonts weren't showing up in Designer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the fonts, then I tried using those fonts with a new document rather than a previously created one, all without success. I then opened the document in Publisher and they worked just fine. I assume it's a problem related specifically to Designer 1.8.0 because I had no problem with these fonts in previous versions of Designer.

I'd also like to add that TrueType Font Collections aren't playing nicely, either. This is only in Affinity Photo and Designer, Publisher is seeing all of these fonts just fine.

Hi Laura F,

Are all of your applications purchased from the Affinity Store, or are some from the Microsoft store? If so what apps come from where?

Would you also be able to attach some of the offending fonts to our internal Dropbox account using the link below please?

Thanks

Hi Sean,

Yes, all of my applications have been purchased from the Affinity Store. I'm also running them all on macOS Catalina 10.15.3. 

I tried to upload two typeface families to Dropbox but nothing seemed to happened, so I'm unsure if I was successful of not. I also attached zipped folders to this reply in case my uploads to Dropbox were unsuccessful.

The first typeface family that I've had issues with is Futura, which has 20 fonts in the family. In Publisher I can see and use all 20, in Designer and Photo I can only see and. use 4 fonts (Italic, Regular, Bold, Bold Italic). The second typeface family I've had issues with is HTF Gotham, which has 8 fonts in the family. In Publisher I can see and use all 8, in Designer and Photo I can't see or use any of them.

Thank you for looking into this, I appreciate it!

Laura

Thanks for the files - I've removed them from this post to avoid sharing commercial fonts. The two Futura ones report serious issues with in Font Book and warns me to not use them. The HTF Gotham fonts install without a problem into Font Book and all 8 fonts appear in both applications.

Are you using a third party font manager?

[Laura F]

Oh, of course, I hadn't even thought about sharing issues. Thank you! Yes, I do use FontExplorer X Pro. Should I uninstall them and then try installing them through Font Book?

[Sean P]

Font Book may complain about some of them (as it did for me) - is there anywhere in FontExplorer X Pro that you can specify what fonts should appear for each application? I've briefly used it in passing and I thought there was a feature like that?
