morinipete Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help with this. I recently updated from Version 1.8.0 to 1.10.05 in Affinity Publisher and when opening previous books I've written got missing font messages and messed up text. The text types concerned were Myriad Pro and Minion Pro. I thought it might just be a simple problem but on opening a new document found that these fonts had been removed from the pull down option list. OK, just go back and reinstall version 1.8.0 and all will be right I thought. No way! When I tried this the installation 'failed'. As such am I missing something or have these two fonts just simply been removed? If they have how can I access them, as my previous - heavily formatted - books are virtual junk without them. Help!

walt.farrell Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The Affinity applications do not include any fonts, and simply use the fonts installed on the system. Thus, the implication is that the fonts are not installed on the current system you're using. Have you changed systems?

morinipete Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi, yes I'm on a new laptop running windows 11, though the microsoft office edition is the same (2007). Excuse my ignorance but the system I'm assuming is MS Office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You apparently had installed those fonts on your old PC, but have not installed them on your new PC.

morinipete Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 OK Walt, yes, I see what you mean. I've located some downloadable fonts and it seems all sorted now. Many, many, thanks. So helpful. Cheers Pete Bonteburg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 You're welcome. Note: For future consideration, you might use the Package function to save your projects for long-term storage. Packaging allows you to capture a copy of the main document along with any images and fonts it uses. That way, if you need to use the project on a different computer, or after you've updated fonts, you can be sure it will behave the same.

Bonteburg Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm having the exact same problem with Myriad. I have Publisher 1.10.5.1342 on a laptop currently also running a license of Adobe CC, where Myriad keeps being available. This isn't necessarily a recent problem. It's probably the first time I need to use Myriad in an Affinity context. Marco :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
