Cannot Access Fonts

[iambia]

Font scrolling is virtually dead. I am currently unable to use the font list at all because it freezes for minutes and when it unfreezes and I scroll, it freezes again. I have tried to find a way to delete all fonts at once, but I don’t see how to do this. I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, but the list of fonts return. Please advise as it is making Affinity Photo unusable and forcing me to turn to Adobe to function.

I saw that one from September. Comments are closed, so I have restarted the conversation since nothing has changed since then.

That's correct. Nothing has changed yet. And all you can do is remove fonts.

Which leads to the second part of my comment which was how to do that in bulk. I stated that I don’t see how to do that. Removing one by one will take hours.

Additionally, when there is news, then the Serif Info Bot will post in one of the topics tagged with af-367 

(which this topic probably will be once Serif reopens for business after Jan. 2, unless a staffer notices this before then).

How you delete them will depend on how you installed them, as you might have done that win an Affinity app, or by using an iPadOS function, or another app you've understand.

There may already be discussion in one of the other topics.

I installed within Affinity and it doesn’t show how I can bulk delete them. Thanks though.

Just select all the ones you want to delete, and click the delete icon. You can click on individual fonts, or click on one and shift-click on another to select a range.

That's partly explained in the Help: https://affinity.help/publisher2ipad/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/preferences.html

Shift + click!! That's what I needed!! Thank you!! Finally!! Now to see what happens with fewer fonts.

Ok this sounds promising, but how do you shift + click on an iPad while in the Affinity font settings mode? 2 Fingers doesn’t seem to do anything…

Bring up the software keyboard, perhaps?
