Font Name Displaying in Chinese in Properties Box


Recommended Posts

When I selected a font from the list of fonts they appeared in English.  Once the font was chosen the title of font (in the font properties box) appeared in Chinese characters.  The text that I typed on the canvas displayed as I wanted.  The application functioned in English, and all the help text appeared in English.  This problem persisted in both Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Designer 2 on my iPad.  I deleted Affinity Designer from my iPad and saw the problem continue in Affinity Photo.  I reinstalled Affinity Designer and the problem was resolved.  The purchased Brushes and Assets were automatically there as well as the custom Assets that I had created.  The issue of the Chinese font name persisted in Affinity Photo.  I deleted Affinity Photo and then reinstalled.  Problem has been resolved.  

A possible related bug is that some font choices have a "?" in front of the name and appear in red.  (see attachment).  

All of these fonts work fine in Affinity Designer 1.10.5 and Affinity Photo 1.10.5

I have that problem with font names showing in what I assume to be Chinese. Deleting / uninstalling Affinity designer and photo both v2  and reinstalling resolved that issue? That's how I'm understanding your post. 

I am also guessing there is no fix for the red "?font name" issue, other than installing that font through the program?

The issue "[iPad] Fonts installed from creative cloud show on context toolbar with name in Chinese " (REF: AFD-6170) has been improved by the developers in internal build "2.1.0.1736".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
