edraconus Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My fonts folder is on my C Drive and the Affinity products are all on a different drive is there a way to tell Affinity where my fonts are as none of them are showing in the choice of fonts I can use.

edraconus Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 No they are not fonts Affinity dosent understand. As Affinity understood them when Affinity was also on the C drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edraconus Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Other programmes like word are all on the same drive and they can read the Fonts it's just the Affinity programmes that don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmcd Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 @edraconus What are the specific fonts? How did you confirm that the font files are actually in the Windows Fonts folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edraconus Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm not going to list every one there is over 200 hundred. The windows font manager does show you which fonts you need to make sure you are in Icon view then click the font Icon, and you can just open the fonts file to see what fonts you have its under C://Windows/Fonts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted June 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 10, 2020 @edraconus Are you still having issues with fonts? Affinity apps reference the default font locations of the OS and load from there. Can you provide a screenshot of these particular fonts listed in the Windows font folder and then a screenshot of the font dropdown list in Affinity?
