Font variants missing/not listed properly

[AnandaT]

Hello,

So I'm using Affinity Designer V2, and I recall this has been an issue in V1 as well but I never bothered reporting until now.

Some Google Fonts I downloaded and installed on my system are not listed properly in Designer, but they are listed fine in other software.

In this case, I'm trying to use the Overpass font (Overpass - Google Fonts)

This is the font and variants as shown in DaVinci Resolve:

 

Whereas this is the font and variants in Designer V2

As you can see, there is Italic being listed multiple times, and variants like ExtraBold Italic is missing entirely.

You have installed the Variable version of that font, which is not supported by the Affinity applications. You need to remove that and install the Static version instead.

Did you install only the Static versions or did you install both the Static and Variable versions? Affinity applications can use only the Static versions, if however you have installed both versions you may well have conflicts occurring.

That was it! Installed the static variant instead and it works normally. Thank you very much for the fast response
