JoeyP Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hey guys, Since the 1.5.1 Designer update, I've had a problem with the font drop down menu when using text. It seems that a new feature causes the font that I'm hovering over to appear at the top of the recently used list. However, the font previews in the drop down are different sizes, so when they appear at the top of the list, everything gets shifted, and it has become impossible to choose certain fonts, simply because of the other two fonts they are between. Very frustrating! Does anyone have a fix? Is it possible to make the preview sizes the same, or eliminate this feature? Is there a preference menu for the font drop down list? Please see photo attached and notice the font with a check mark near it, but it is not included in my recently used. :( Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi JoeyP, This was already fixed in the latest Beta (1.5.2 Beta 3) which you can get from here. Just remember to keep the Mac App Store version installed since its needed to validate/run it. The fix will also be included in the next Mac App Store update (no eta).

SaucyWeeTart Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hi, I'm using the 1.5.4 trial version for Mac and this is happening to me still. Not sure what to do. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) SaucyWeeTart (!) Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums :) This is a problem in 1.5.4 (including the trial) for the context toolbar, but I understand that you can use the Character panel font selector instead. see answer below Edited December 2, 2016 by Patrick Connor woops Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff MEB Posted December 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 2, 2016 Actually it's the opposite. The dropdown in the context toolbar works as it should but the font family dropdown in the Character panel still display this issue. This is already fixed for the next update.
