Intuos5 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In the Creative collection upgrade offer, when I claimed it, I noticed the first two descriptions for the content packs are swapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intuos5 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks for the content. Even though I won't be using all of it, I think it is a great customer service to provide additional value even after the purchase was completed. Keep up the good work!

Intuos5 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 @Ash shouldn't the Publication Typefaces Collection be visible in all of the apps? I don't see it in the addons panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ash Posted January 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yes at the moment fonts don't stream down to the apps. You have to download the .affonts file from your account and install in each app. (File-> Import content on desktop, tap icon top left on Home Screen - import content on iPad). We will be starting a 2.1 beta fairly soon, which will have font streaming included to remove the need for manual installation. debraspicher, pfrantzis, Alfred and 1 other 1 3 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff Ash Posted January 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2023 btw the text descriptions of those packs should now be swapped back to be correct - thanks for reporting.

Just tried it with publisher but I cannot see them in the drop down menu. Restarted app but still not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a dumb question but is there any obvious way to uninstall any of these fonts once they have been installed into an Affinity app on a Mac? BTW, on my Mac, after unzipping the fonts I selected all 12 of the Aeroko fonts in the Finder folder I downloaded them into, right-clicked on one of them & from the popup contextual menu I used Open With Affinity Publisher 2 to install them into APub V2 in one step.

Does that "for now" mean you think there might be a better way in some later version? Also, it would be nice to be able to preview what these fonts look like before deciding to install them and a way to install them once in one of the Affinity apps so they could be shared (linked?) with the other two. As it is, it seems to require 3 separate installs & 3 sets of *.affont files that use more storage space than should be necessary.

It appears this never made it into the final release of 2.1. Next to the font collections, I see there is simply a link indicating that these need to be manually installed from the website.
