Mr. Chuck Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Does the latest Affinity Designer allow the use of Postscript (Type 1) fonts on a desktop Mac running OSX 13.5, via Celartem’s Suitcase Fusion? (As of this year, Adobe software does not, notoriously.) Quote
Staff DWright Posted November 13, 2023 Staff Posted November 13, 2023 Hi @Mr. Chuck, Welcome to the forum With MacOS 13.5 and MacOS 14 you can use Type 1 postscript fonts with Affinity Designer Quote
media2manage Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Greetings! Can someone let me know if my Adobe post-script fonts will work with Affinity Photo (or any Affinity software)? My OS is 10.13.6 and the right answer would absolutely make my day! If not, are there any OS below 15.0 that will? THANKS media2manage@nyc.rr.com Quote

Assuming you own a macOS license for V1 of Affinity Photo, and are still using V1, I would expect those fonts to be supported. V2 requires macOS 10.15 or later, so it would not run at all on 10.13.6. ps: I suggest removing your email address from within your post, to help avoid spam.

RobWu Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Not sure if the Mac is 'bitten' by the same issue as on Windows, but with the 2.5.5 release the support for type-1 fonts went belly up. I also posted on this in here, and it 'should' be fixed in the latest 2.6 release (haven't installed this one yet...). But that with Windows, for the Mac ymmv....

lacerto Posted March 6 Posted March 6 6 hours ago, RobWu said: and it 'should' be fixed in the latest 2.6 release It is (screenshot from Publisher 2.6.0 on Windows Pro 11 24H2): On macOS (I think starting from Ventura) PostScript is disabled at system level so even if FontBook still "installs" Type1 fonts (in the user library), they will not show anywhere in font menus. On Windows the support is (IMO rightly) left for users and apps. Quote
RobWu Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Thanks for confirming When my running project is done, I will happily upgrade. (Tip: never ever update while running a active project....) lacerto 1 Quote Windows 11 - 23H2 ⊕ ASUS PRIME X670E-Pro ⊕ AMD Ryzen 9-7900X ⊕ Arctic Liquid Cooler II ⊕ 64GB RAM ⊕ OS SSD Samsung 980Pro 2Tb ⊕ Cache SSD Samsung 870 EVO 1Tb ⊕ Video HD WD Blue 4Tb ⊕ Geforce RTX 3060 12Gb ⊕ BenQ SW270C ⊕ Dell U2412M ⊕ Affinity Photo 2.5.5 ⊕ Affinity Designer 2.5.5 ⊕ Affinity Publisher 2.5.5
