walt.farrell Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 I installed a package of variable fonts from https://github.com/petrvanblokland/TYPETR-Bitcount/tree/main/fonts/ttf/variable (originally mentioned here in the Variable Fonts beta topic) and I've found that several of them (marked below) consistently cause the Affinity applications to hang if I try to scroll over them in the Context Toolbar Font pull-down. With those specific fonts deactivated, I do not have this problem. The others (not marked below) work, though of course they do not show the colors, just black. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
