Font problems (was: mrs)


Recommended Posts

Hi

I got a MacBook Air  and iMac so that I can work from the same files and send them from one to another via iCloud Drive.

But for some reason when I work on Affinity Designer, the font style changes when it is send via the cloud. I have downloaded different fonts onto my computers but both have the same fonts in their lists.

How do stop this from happening?

Thanks

Hi @Lisi,

Thanks for your email and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. Can you please confirm for me, if you select this text on one Mac, then transfer the file and select the same text on your other Mac - does the font name appear the same?

What font is 'changing' when transferring the document?

Can you possibly provide a copy of this .afdesign file and a screenshot of how it appears on both Macs? 

Many thanks in advance!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

Identical font file names or even font face names don't necessarily mean to represent identical font file content.
In this similar case of an unexpected style change when jumping between macs a font re-install on the secondary iMac appeared to solve the issue:

 

macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
