Missing Fonts

[Woodpig]

Hi,

Using Affinity Photo on Mac. I'm trying to import a PDF that's mainly text so that it's editable. When I do so, I get a prompt saying that certain fonts are missing, and do I want to substitute them (see attached).

However, these fonts ARE on the system, and I can even use them in AP. But the dialogue box won't allow me to select the right replacement style - for instance, if I select "Regular", then it defaults to "Extralight". This also happens if I change the fonts in the imported document manually - the exported PDF contains "Extralight" instead of "Regular", etc.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Gareth.

Thanks, Hens.

The PDF has been generated on my own computer, so uses the same OS.

I think the software I'm exporting from may possibly use variable fonts. But I should still be able to substitute for static fonts, shouldn't I? I believe I have these installed for the font family in question.

Yes, it's a variable font problem. I've removed them and replaced with static fonts, and now it works fine. Thank you!
