Text Styles Changing Font

[true_joan]

I'm still learning Affinity and all it can do. On a forum someone kindly shared a few of their text styles, and when trying them out they worked fine. However, several of the styles started changing the font intirely and its size. If they all did it I would assume it was the creator, but that's nto the case. I can't find anyone else talking about this or any fixes. This may not be a bug, it may just be me lacking the know-how to fix it. Still thought it best to share in case others were also having this issue.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @true_joan.

We'll probably need to see the text styles, and perhaps a sample document that demonstrates the problem.

This is not a bug in the true sense of the word. The creator of the styles had probably not considered that the font is also saved in the style.

I also have some styles here where I am annoyed that I have to change the font every time.

I always do this by creating a round shape and applying the style to it. Then I delete the style from the category and transfer it from the shape back into the category.

But Joan said they are text styles, not styles.

That's true, but in the text she also mentions creator, which led me to the conclusion that by 'text styles' she means the (decorative grapic) styles. Because anything else would be nonsensical, as you can expect the behavior described by her with a predefined text style.

Let's agree that now only the OP can clear things up.
