I have recently (after software update) loaded a font.   In affinity designer the font is listed as available but when used is not visible.  It works fine in pages etc.  The font is CNC vector.

more importantly the actual name of the font

It’s available from here (together with its mirror image counterpart, CNC Vector Mirror):

https://www.dafont.com/cnc-vector.font

It shows up for me if, and only if, I apply a thin stroke.

It doesn’t show up for me, either in the font list or in the document, in Pages on iPad.

Thanks for that - I misinterpretted what was meant by 'CNC Vector' I didn't take it for the literal name, so my apologies Brackbox.

Regarding the issue
That is definitely a very unique font. It looks like the font itself consists of single line curves, and doesn't contain any enclosed, filled areas like a regular font does. As this is the case, it is appearing invisible. If you convert the object to curves you can see the individual vector objects are correct, but obviously as they're just lines and have no stroke they're invisible.

I'll pass an improvement on to development to see if they can be improved, but I would suggest Alfred's work around of using strokes if you absolutely need to use this font.

Presumably one intended for use on CNC machines :)

Thank you for your efforts.

I don't understand why it should be so

The lines in the characters actually have no width - so there is nothing to show.

Most of the time you are seeing the fill within a closed contour of vector drawn outlines. You do not see those outlines, you see the fill. You can see those outlines by applying a stroke to them.

In this case you only have the normally invisible vector lines (no fill). So you must apply a stroke to see them.

A bit of a gotcha for me.

Why so? If you need output with no stroke applied, you can apply a stroke while working on the document (so that you can see what you’re doing!) and then turn off the stroke before export.

Just assumed that a font would have a stroke by default.

I think that might be a specialized font intended for use on a CNC machine that will be controlled by software that does not expect the font to have a stroke.
