Am trying to learn how to use fonts but unable to locate font toolbar. Where is it and how do I add it to my tool bar? Have to go to glyph and character windows which in themselves are very confusing. Text pull down is confusing, AD help and tutorials are almost useless! NO really informative tutorial specifically on tool bars or tools.

Hi 1wetfiremonkey,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Affinity Designer/Photo displays a context toolbar with all options pertaining to each tool right above the work area. So if you select the Artistic Text Tool or the Frame Text Tool from the toolbar on the left the context toolbar on top will display all options available for these tools including selecting font family, size, weight etc. There also buttons there to quickly open the Character and Paragraph panels in case you need to access them. If the context toolbar isn't appearing for you go to menu View ▸ Show Context Toolbar to display it.
