Staff EmT Posted July 4, 2022 Staff Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi @infernonova Welcome to the forum. The Affinity Applications do not provide any Fonts, the Fonts are provided by your OS. You should be able to see and manage any Fonts already installed via the OS provided Font Manager. I have provided some links below to guides on installing Fonts on iOS. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ipad/ipad952422ba/ipados#:~:text=You can download fonts from,> General%2C then tap Fonts. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/44424-fonts-how-to-import-them/ https://designbundles.net/design-school/how-to-add-fonts-to-affinity-designer-on-ipad Quote How to format a bug report | List of V2 FAQ's | Affinity Photo (V2) Tutorials | Affinity Designer (V2) Tutorials | Affinity Publisher (V2) Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s something to do with Apple changing how iPadOS imports fonts. My font installers (I’ve tried several) say they can import fonts , using the old profile method. I install the profiles but no apps 'see' them. Under settings there is also now a Fonts setting. Mine shows no fonts installed and refers me to App Store to purchase fonts.

Mine shows no fonts installed and refers me to App Store to purchase fonts. There was a change in iOS 14. I still use AnyFont, and the fonts that I install via the configuration profiles it creates still show up in AD, APh, and other apps, but they’re no longer listed in the Settings app as they used to be.

I’ve got Fonteer, Phont, iFont, Fontinator and Fontcase and can’t get any to work.☹️ I think I had Anyfont at one stage. I’ll suss that out and give it a go. I can still see the profiles installed in settings though. They are now listed under Settings/General/VPN and Device Management. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

However, I can’t see any recent additions there.

The screen links to the AppStore where fonts can be purchased and installed (without using profiles - I think). Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

It worked. I can see it in affinity. It must be something to do with the Lato font family itself that prevents it working. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
