Affinity Desginger - Font size is different on different computers

[realkru79]

I have two different windows laptops with same version of affinity designer.

If i open the affinity designer file, which is created on one laptop, on the other laptop, the font is much bigger than on the other one.

What could be the problem?

Different display settings on the laptops?

Different zoom levels? – What different font sizes do you get numerically?

You could give more precise info, show screenshots of both screens with the text selected + the character and layer panels visible.

Every other element has the same size on every laptop.

Only the displaying of the font size is different.

But the font size ist 24pt on every laptop because it is the same designer file.

Same font is installed on both laptops? Difference is about all fonts?

If I interpret your post correctly (?) you mean that only the font size varies (so is shown up differently sized on laptop screen, even it's everywhere setup as 24pt) and other drawn objects are not shown that different size showup way, among the same used Affinity apps on different laptops?

So how big is "much bigger"? – What font names does Affinity display on both laptops? – Again, how about screenshots?

Thank you all for your quick support.

I tried it with Arial - the result on the display is correct. Same size is displayed on both Laptops.

The other font is Archtiects Daughter from Google Fonts.

I think it was the same font file i used on both laptops, but i´m not sure.

So i will try to deinstall this font and install it on both laptops again with same font file.

Maybe this will help.

I will report it here.

You have two different versions of the font installed.
The larger one is an older one - v1.001, or v1.002.
The smaller one is from Google Fonts - v1.003
Those older versions have larger characters, and slightly different metrics.

So make sure both laptops have v1.003 and it should be fine.

For these cases, the fonts used should be defined, including their version. If the correct version is not available when viewing the document, a warning should be displayed (for example in Preflight).
