malaga16 Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 Affinity Designer has font issue, with variable types. I downloaded and installed some google (Variable) font. Adobe softwares can handle it good, but Aff. Designer only can see "regular" types. Quote
walt.farrell Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 It's not a bug. Variable fonts are just not supported yet in any of the Affinity applications. You will need to uninstall the Variable fonts and install the Static versions instead, or choose different applications.

We bought the Affinity pack because we wanted to change the bloatware full of bugs Adobe licences. But in 2023 Affinity not compatible very very basic stufft. Cant handle variable fonts, cant open Adobe artboards, cant (easily) export his own artboard batch like adobe (only lots of not necessary steps). It was a huge mistake. 😞 Quote

There are a lot of unnecessary steps to take. In the case of Adobe, I just select the artboards in the layers panel (or not even that) and "export as" Formats can be set uniformly or even separately if necessary. But this means going through it one by one, setting formats separately, and only then exporting... Horror when you work with 10+ artboards. Quote
