Font Search

[RenWaller]

Hello,

I love Affinity Publisher, but something that would be really helpful is if the font manager that opens when a document or PDF has missing fonts had a "search" function (i.e. when looking for a substitute font you could search, or type in a letter, of one you're looking for, and all of the options would come up). It would save a lot of time scrolling to get to the correct one.

Thank you!

You can type into the field with a font's name and this works as a search. Is this what you are looking for?

I would imagine RenWaller is probably requesting the same font search capability when you open a document or PDF that doesn't have the correct fonts - really bugs me too that you can't just type in the first couple of letters, having to physically scroll through hundreds of fonts gets me down too

That is correct @Dazmondo77; I apologize that that wasn't clear in the first post.

It was clear to those of us who have the same problem/frustration as you Ren.

I admit I do not often have the problem of missing fonts, so it didn't occur to me immediately. Thanks for pointing me into the correct direction.

Well, there's always room for improvement. Good luck.
