Problem with the names of the artboards.

[josue_mp]

Recently, I updated the Affinity suite; however, I noticed that the names of the artboards appear with a strange font, like symbols, instead of the correct name. In the attached image, the artboard in Affinity Designer should be called FRONTAL 3, but instead, it shows a name in Latin or something similar. What can I do to fix this problem? Although it doesn't seem very important, it can be a bit confusing when working. Thank you for your help.

If you're on Windows, you may have a corrupted Windows Font Cache. Or, you may have installed a bad font with internal name fields that are incorrect.

Or, perhaps you have done something to the Arial font as mentioned in this topic:

FWIW, it's the word 'Frontal' transliterated into the Greek alphabet. (Latin uses Latin script, as do we.)

Thank you for your responses. Yesterday, I realized that the problem is with the Symbol font, because when I opened Affinity Designer and created a text box, I started typing and a different typeface appeared. I thought of writing the name of the artboard located in the layers and discovered that it was the same font that appeared above the canvas. I uninstalled and reinstalled Affinity Designer, but the problem persists. I still don't know how to fix it. 🙁

Please confirm your operating system and version.

Figure out which font is being used, and (assuming it's one you installed), uninstall it. In any case, tell us which one it is, please.

Hi, thank you for the help. I'm using Windows 11 and the version of Affinity Designer is 2.5.3.

Averigüe qué fuente se está utilizando y (suponiendo que sea una que haya instalado), desinstálela. En cualquier caso, dinos cuál es, por favor.

Hi @walt.farrell. The font that is causing this issue is Symbol font, this is a Windows protected file.

Perhaps it is some other font you have installed that just looks like Symbol?

This problem is usually caused by having a broken font installed, but if Symbol were broken, more users should have the problem.

Another alternative is that your Windows system font cache is corrupted, and needs to be fixed. You can do a web search to find instructions for cleaning the Windows font cache.
