File / Import Content ... does not work for affont files

[Andreas Scherer]

Affinity 2.0.4

MacOS 12.6.3 Monterey

The canonical way to Import Content does not work for affont files, e.g., the Publication Typefaces from the Creative Collection. See multiple threads

and

in the support forum. A workaround is to drag and drop the affont files from Finder to the main Affinity windows (all three apps on MacOS).

Note that Import Content does work for afbrushes and afassets files, e.g. Spray Paint Brushes and Textures by MiksKS.

For what it's worth, it does work using Import Content on Windows and on iPad.

I haven't been able to add the affont files supplied when I upgraded to V2 on Windows- ive tried all the help topics i can find!

Hi @Bevann and welcome!

You can copy the Affinity Font files to the appropriate directories in the .Affinity directory.

To quickly navigate there press the Windows key + R. Type Shell:UsersFilesFolder\.affinity\ in the command line. Windows will show you the further directory hierarchy. Example: Shell:UsersFilesFolder\.affinity\Designer\2.0\AffinityFonts. You have to copy the fonts for each program of the suite separately.
