Chris13123 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have an svg file which has a text (see screenshot). Wenn I open it, it says the font is "Open Sans", but there is no type (Regular, Bold, Italic) selected. If I check all the types, none of it is matching the current text exactly. Also according to https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/open-sans none type looks like my text (the "g" is always different). How to figure out which font is used here? Could I export the image and include the font somehow and then check which fonts are included? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also according to https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/open-sans none type looks like my text (the "g" is always different). As you say, that doesn’t look like Open Sans. The g should be double-storey, not single-storey with a tail, and the tail of the e doesn’t terminate correctly for Open Sans, either. I think your screenshot is showing Arial.

If you export as PDF then its "properties" tell the used/embedded font. If your PDF viewer doesn't offer this option you could open the exported PDF in Affinity and check its font name.

It appears the font family is Open Sans, and it is probably the Regular (so select just that). The original Open Sans Regular font only has "Open Sans" in the PostScript Name. No Regular weight is listed. So perhaps that is where it came from. This happens quite a bit when Affinity opens other documents (no Font Style). So just select the text and apply the Regular weight (Font Style). Note the Regular weight in the original Open Sans does not match the Regular weight in the current Google Fonts version (they adjusted some of the weights when they made the variable font). So your original document may not look the same with the newer fonts. You may want to use the original fonts if you need to replicate something.
