InDesign IDML Font Not Loading Properly

[Xennrat]

Hi!

I have recently purchased some Affinity software and wanted to convert my .idml files from Adobe InDesign to Affinity Publisher. However, my CityBlueprint font shows up completely differently when I open the .idml files in publisher. I have checked and the font is still installed on my computer, as I get a message saying it is already there. Is there a way to resolve the issue?

Hi @Xennrat and welcome to the forums,

If I install the version of CityBlueprint you've uploaded I see the following issue... @kenmcd will likely be able to shed some light as to the actual issue with the font...

I think that CityBlueprint is an old conversion from a Type-1 font - and it was not converted to Unicode. It is still the old MacRoman encoding.

On my phone at the moment so I cannot check to be sure. Can check it a couple hours from now.

Try the version of the font I posted here:

 

Think I converted that one to Unicode. So give that font a try and I will check back later.

OK. Checked your font, and found other posts about it.

CityBlueprint is what I call a Franken-font.
When it was converted from Type-1 there are two different encodings inside.
For the Mac platform the encoding is MacRoman (old pre-Unicode).
For the Windows platform the encoding is as a Symbol font.
Neither encoding is going to work properly in APub.

Appears I made a couple different versions of the fixed font (which I had converted to Unicode).
Normally when I modify a font I always rename it (to prevent confusion later).

This fixed version has the same name as the original font.
So when the IDML file is imported it should not be reported as missing.
CityBlueprintAF.zip

Correction: these fonts are named CityBlueprintAF - so just do a find-and-replace.

Great news! That new version of the font you posted works! Thanks!
