Ken Cope Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm using MainType to tame my font collection. I had AD open and opened a file that didn't have its font installed. I opened MainType and installed this font but the Font cahche of AD didn't regenerater. I closed AD down and opened again but still the font was not seen by AD yet other programs (LibreOffice for example) do see the font.

MikeW Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hey, Ken... What version of MT? If version 7, make sure it is up to date and try again if it wasn't up to date. MT has used shortcuts to pseudo install fonts. The latest update to version 7 actually installs the font(s). Dunno if the above helps or not. AD should still recognize them in any case. But I have had various issues with my font manager and AD and it uses temporary links. Which is what I want in a FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Dierolf Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Ken, as MikeW allready wrote you can also check how it acts when you install the font by hand via the system - just to see if MT is the problem or AD, independent from other programms ... :) iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), i7 4.2, Radeon 580 Pro 8 GB, 40 GB DDR4-RAM, 1 TB Flash, macOS 10.14.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folio94 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi, the same problem occurs on Official alpha version of Affinity Designer. I have opened a project yesterday and saw that the font was not inside the c:/windows/fonts directory. Then I installed it. An information inside AD told me that the cache was OK but nothing occured.

It is installed in Windows Fonts folder. Restarting seems to have fixed the issue of the font showing but it doesn't update the file I am using, it shows Arial Bold for the font even though the font dialogue shows the name. Something's not quite right.

Something's not quite right. Mike and I both observed some time ago that although loading a font is acknowledged by the program it doesn't update in the file unless you close that file and reopen it.
