Suddenly, my font names are in Chinese*


Recommended Posts

In the Text Studio of all my Affinity apps, the font names are all replaced with Chinese characters. The new appearance still includes the last letter of the English font name, so I don’t know if this is a glitch or a viral attack. 
 

The other apps on my iPad do not display a similar problem. 
 

My iPad language defaults to English. 
 

*I assume based on the Chinese characters I have experienced previously.

Sorry for the long delay in replying to this request but the Serif team and the secondary support team of simply users like myself have been answering as many as possible as quickly as possible.

The developers are aware of this issue which has been reported before.

 

 

Apologies again for late response.

 The issue seems to be with fonts installed via Adobe Creative Cloud, so perhaps removing them would resolve the problem. But I know that's not a great workaround. For reference, this search will show any topics that have this bug logged against them:
