Captain Spalding Posted September 30, 2024 Posted September 30, 2024 I recently upgraded from Designer and Photo for iPad to version 2 for both apps. The fonts that I had installed in the v1 apps are not available in the V2 apps. Is there a way to import or move them into V2 without hunting them down individually on the web and redownloading them? Thanks
walt.farrell Posted September 30, 2024 Posted September 30, 2024 If you installed them directly into the applications, rather than installing them into iPadOS using a font manager app, then I think you'll have to find them all again. With luck, though, you also saved the original font files you downloaded, and you won't have to find them on the web again. -- 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.

Captain Spalding Posted September 30, 2024 Author Posted September 30, 2024 Thanks for the reply. Sadly I installed them into the app. Does anyone else have a workaround?
walt.farrell Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 I'm pretty sure you'll have to search for them, then. The OS isolates the installed applications from each other, and prevents them from seeing other applications' data. And also prevents you from seeing the applications' internal data. In theory, with a 3rd-party app on a Mac or Windows, you could access the hidden part of the iPad file system, which might allow you to find the internal copies of the fonts you installed into the Affinity application. But I'm not sure you'd be able to do anything with them once you found them. One of the Serif staff has mentioned that app a couple of times, but I don't recall the details. I'll see if I can find them. -- 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.

Specifically, I was remembering posts like this one: They've never discussed recovering fonts as far as I can recall, but something similar might be possible if you can access the actual .ttf or .otf files from the hidden parts of the file system that way. -- 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.

emmrecs01 Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 @walt.farrell My pleasure. I actually have the app but am still in the "discovering what it can do, and how to do it" phase! walt.farrell 1 Win 11 Pro, intel i7 14700, NVidia GTX 4060, 32G RAM, intel UHD 770.

Captain Spalding Posted October 2, 2024 Author Posted October 2, 2024 I will investigate imaging and see about accessing the fonts
