DGee Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Ok I figured it out, it's dragging the fonts onto the main window of the app Andreas Scherer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the German version of all three apps (2.0.4 on Monterey 12.6.3) “Datei / Inhalt importieren...” does not bring the fonts into the available fonts list. Dragging the *.affont files into the main app window works fine, though. DGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White58 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 "Import Content" doesn't seem to work on the English version here (On Mac OS Monterey or Ventura at least). Dragging and dropping still does though. DGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the standard English version, I'm not sure if it's US or UK English though as I currently have a Spanish Keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to add them via Font Book on a Mac but that obviously didn't work lol I hope that at some point they will add a way to access these fonts through Font Book on Macs. The reason I want this is to be able to create a Font Book Collection to group them all together, which would allow me to choose that collection in the Character panel. As it is, there is no way I can see to filter the font list in Affinity to show just those fonts, or to add any of them to my existing Font Book collections like the one I created for handwriting style fonts which I could add Candlelight to.

So I am not bothering with the others as the only way to "filter" them is to mark them as Favourites. Which I don't actually want to do.

If nothing lse, it would be nice to be able to preview what these fonts looked like before having to install them to do that, but I do not see any way to do that like we can for other fonts.
