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.

Interesting. It does in the English US version.

Yea that did not work. 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.

Serif have since acknowledged that File > Import Content does not install .affront files on macOS.

Hi how do you Install Affinity Fonts from Add-ons Bundle?

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.

In Designer I installed just one (Candlelight) to see what actually happens and discovered this problem. 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.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

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.
