Handling Fonts with Project – from Desktop to iPad

[Johannes]

Start project on Desktop - continue project on iPad.

What is the easiest way to get used fonts to iPad?

I would love to have them embedded in the Affinity file.

Hi Johannes,

The best way to do this would be to store the fonts on a cloud drive and then install them onto your iPad via the following methods. 

 

Thanks

Hi Callum,

I sometimes have files with 20 Fonts and more (eg for font comparing purposes). This is a pain in the ..

I can't even collect fonts inside Affinity, can I.

Also no 1 life hack for designers:

01. Save your fonts

“When you back up work for long-term storage and archiving, save the fonts in there, too,” advises Patrick Foster, professor of design at Vancouver Island University. “You’ll almost never have the same font library in a year or whenever you need to revisit the work.”

I would say most professionals package their jobs. I think it is essential to be able to collet all supporting files and fonts and cleanly organize them with a specific job. It is another reason Publisher would be a headache to work with if you are trying to work in a similar fashion to Indesign (which I prefer). Not sure it is all that important, save the fonts, if all your images are embedded in the file itself. So I could see Publisher working for some, but thinking it would not be the way most would want to work.
