Affinity Publisher: buggy font management


Recommended Posts

There are essentially 5 kinds of fonts in print. Windows offers 934 of them for free. A lot of them are not recognized by the Affinity suite.

  1. Opentype Collection:
    correct screen display | correct printing | buggy PDF export
  2. OpenType CCF:
    correct screen display | correct printing | correct PDF export
  3. Opentype TTF standard:
    correct screen display | correct printing | correct PDF export
  4. Opentype TTF variable:
    buggy screen display | buggy printing | buggy PDF export
  5. Opentype Truetype:
    correct screen display | correct printing | correct PDF export

Here is an Affinity Publisher file showing an example in each case. To get all the free fonts for Windows, just go to the menu Customize/Fonts/Download fonts of all languages. You can also add the free fonts from Microsoft Store from the menu Get more fonts in Microsoft Store.

Yes for True Type, and it’s a shame, because they are by the 3 main competing software. What is even more annoying is that the bug on the PDF export of Opentype Collections is still not fixed while this bug with big consequences is probably not much to solve.
