Publisher v2 has no font manager menu item

[R.L Buck]

My Document menu has no font manager menu item. Has it moved from its v1 location and I just can't find it, has it been removed (Heaven forfend!), or something on my installation only? Mac iMac 14,2 running Catalina.

See:

• https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Text/fontManager.html?title=Font Manager

... and check the Window menu!

Thanks!

One US help page, still indicates it as being under "Document" menu. A bit confusing, I would say!

https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Text/fontManager.html?title=Font Manager

I tried, after having managed to find it, in v2.03. but besides the list of fonts used in the document, the substitution and substitution Style column don't give any possibility. The only working option is finding the font. Am I doing something wrong?

You're referring to the v1 Publisher help page, not the v2 page. You can find all the help pages available from here:

Doing a search I ended up on the link I mention in the previous message. Then I found the help for v2 but it doesn't work as it says. Unless I am doing something wrong, the Font Manager widow only gives me the possibility to locate the font. If I want to replace it, the Substitution and Substitution Style columns (I suppose there is a drop-down menu on each column) do not open or react.

 

Thanks

Please provide a pointer to the V2 Help page you're using. 

Also, are you actually dealing with a document that has missing fonts?

[Mario Salerno]

I'm sorry, I thought Font Manager could replace any font in the document, not just the missing ones!

Is there such possibility, other than scrolling though the list of fonts?

Thanks

Find & Replace might do what you want if you use the Format option to set the find field to one font & the relace field to another. However, when I tried this in V2.0.3 on my Mac, it worked only for some text layers ... & then it crashed the app when I tried to do that a second time.

A feature to come I guess!
