I used the font in the file ‘Welcome Christmas.afdesign’ that I attached earlier. It’s very similar to the sample on the Creative Fabrica website, but if you look closely you should be able to see that the ‘W’ in ‘Welcome’ and the ‘m’ in ‘Christmas’ don’t have swashes (because I didn’t enable any of the OpenType ‘Stylistic Set’ options).

No, that isn’t the problem here. It’s an OTF file containing only one (Regular) style.

kenmcd Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 @anisa Have you restarted ADesigner since you installed the font? That would make sure it rebuilds its font cache. Have you restarted Windows 10 since you installed the font? That would/should cause Windows to rebuilt its font cache. Did you accidentally install the font twice? Affinity apps will sometimes show nothing when confused by multiple font files for the same font in the Fonts folder. If the font file is locked and you install it again, you will end up with duplicate font files. And that confuses Affinity apps. Alfred 1 Quote

If you select the text and copy it, you should be able to apply the same attributes (font face, size, colour, etc) to any other piece of text via the ‘Paste Style’ command. 54 minutes ago, anisa said: How do i use the text without the swooshes? Once you’ve successfully set a piece of text to use that font, I would expect that the relevant OpenType options in the character panel will be available to you.
