Luddite Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 In 2020 I purchased some fonts (below) Although they are installed I can't access them from my affinity software. I have kept giving up on them as I had assumed that they would automatically integrate in to the fonts drop down menu. It seems a waste not to use them. Can I do something about this. Please note I am elderly and not sophisticated in the use of the software although I love it. Thanks Product Quantity Affinity Publisher (Windows) 1 Montebello Typeface by Ian Barnard 1
PaulEC Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Are you sure the fonts are installed? If so, do they show up in other software? (I have Montebello and it shows up in Affinity with no problem!)

walt.farrell Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Montebello works fine for me, too. How have you tried to install it? I think you should be able to simply unzip the downloaded file (if you get a .zip file), then double-click on each file and click the Install button. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Luddite Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 Thank you for bothering to respond. The fonts show up as individual folders in my computer files, but when I am in Affinity software with an open document and clicking on the artisic text button I can't find anywhere to access them. Apologies if I do not seem to be making any sense in trying to explain my problem.
GarryP Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Can you open the Windows Font Settings – press the Start icon on the Taskbar, then type font, then click on Font Settings – then scroll down to where the named font should be and give us a screenshot of that window? Then can you go into Publisher, open any Font chooser, scroll down to where that font should be and give us a screenshot of that also? In my attached examples I’ve shown what I can see for Franklin Gothic.

A screenshot of File Explorer showing them would be helpful. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
