Polycord Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 So, I have a couple fonts downloaded and they don’t show up anymore. I have tried removing and adding them back but it just doesn’t work. What could be causing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Where did you download them from? And which application (and release) are you using?

I want to use Switzer but they don’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEC Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It works for me on desktop, so I can only assume it must be an iPad specific problem. (Sorry that doesn't help much, but at least it narrows it down!)

Have you updated iPadOS (from and to what release)? Have you updated the app? Are you installing them differently? (And how are you installing them?)

I have updated iPadOS before though, I do not remember what release since it’s been quite a lot of updates. I have updated the app a couple times but the fonts stopped working after a specific update. And I am installing the fonts via the preferences tabs in the settings. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
