km.au Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Whenever I paste without formatting in a document, it reverts back to a missing font. Which text style is the default for the document? In word it's normal. I have the "base" text style set to use arial but I can't work out what text style controls the defualt font + size. Sorry for such a basic questions.

firstdefence Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I would have thought the "No Style" style is the style that is the default style as it doesn’t presume any formatting up above that which is necessary.

km.au Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 No style doesn't work unfortunately https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Text/textStyles_remove.html?title=Removing text styles Affinity resets the font to a missing font for some reason and will not change the font size, so othe whole document is a mix and I've been going around manually fixing everything which is a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km.au Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Is there seriously not a default font available in Affinity? "Default font" returns no search results in help.. I've taken over a document where people have been pasting text from emails, word etc and have ended up with this. There is no way to delete these extra fonts at all.

You set the default font the same way you'd set many other default values. If you had just searched the Help for "default" you'd have found the appropriate entry. https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/ObjectControl/objectDefaults.html (Edit: actually, you get that as the first search result in the Help even if you do search for "default font", at least in Publisher.)

km.au Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 As suspected that doesn't really work in an office. So everyone will have different default fonts. Devs didn't think about that one properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
