But what do fonts have to do with blend modes anyway? 7 hours ago, WestPhD said: all the suddenly the blend modes do not work Please explain "don't work". E.g., upload a sample document where they "don't work" and explain how do you expect them to "work". 7 hours ago, WestPhD said: use the Gear icon to check ... they are all at the top and i have NO CLUE what to do to reset them nor can i find it As usual, if anything else fails, click the Help menu in the menubar and open the built-in Affinity help. Search the Affinity help for "blend modes".

I'm not following how you would install a font to the app? They should be installed to your system, however I'm not running a Mac so may be wrong on that. I have used a font manager app to limit the amount of fonts available to AP, which can slow down at least launching AP. Your screenshot is the Blend Ranges (cogwheel icon), which is separate from the Layer Blend Modes. Regardless of what Blend Mode you choose, the Blend Ranges will be as your screenshot shows.

The Left most node represents Black/Darks, the Right most Highlights/Whites. The top of the graphs are %100, the bottom %0. They are a more defined adjustment, similar to PS Blend-If.

RNKLN Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 What could happen is that you loose your 'favourites', the font that you have indicated in Affinity as a favourite. Or, if you have made a change to the 'default' setting (replaced Arial with another font).
