Selecting fonts does not work


Recommended Posts

I've got the most recent Affinity Designer desktop version, and this problem was happening with the last version as well on my Macbook Pro running OS Mojave. There are 3 problematic behaviors that are making it impossible for me to use Affinity.

1) When I try to select any font other than Arial, the selected font displays for a few seconds and then the font turns back to Arial. This happens whether I have the type highlighted and using the type tool, AND when the text box is selected using the arrow tool.

2)  When I try to select a font other than Arial, the dropdown menu of fonts in the Character panel closes immediately, so it's impossible to scroll to select the font I need.

3) If I manage to select a font by typing in the font name in the Character panel, the font displays at first, but if I resize the text box, it reverts to Arial.

I have Adobe Fonts and many of them are active. But I cannot use them in Affinity due to the issues described above.

Maybe related to this?

 (If so, it occurs when using separated mode, across all Affinity apps, and @MEB has posted in that thread that it's a known issue, along with a workaround.)

Cheers,
