Strange Loss of One Font Family today


Recommended Posts

One of my  Fonts -  Bahnscrift , since yesterday evening and this afternoon shows this.  It is a 15  part family.  Now I checked the Font organiser in Windows and it shows everything normal with all the correct sub names, I also opened notepad and was able to type and change to all of the sub font's displays.  It appears to be only in affinity.   I would like to check the folders in windows, but apparently there are two locations for these, one for microsoft and the other fo rthe rest, googling turned up uselss information regarding the directions to where windows actually stores all these fonts, so if anyone can point me there I would be very happy, windows 10 please.  (Using apple mac for a hundred years so windows is fairly new to me, know my way around, but not the architecture so to speak)  Thankyou.

Chris

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.

Bahnschrift is a variable font. This is a relatively new kind of font (where multiple styles are defined within a single font file instead of each style being defined in a separate file) and the Affinity apps don’t yet support them.

That is very strange because I have typed bahnscrift into affinty, I have had publisher now for about three weeks.  Unless of course it had something to do with the update prior to 145? which did not show this anomaly?  ok so a quick read where some one asked about variable fonts being supported by affinity clears that up.  Still strange though that I neer saw this before.

That is indeed very strange, Chris! Can you attach an existing APub document containing Bahnschrift text other than in the ‘Regular’ style?

I wish I could, I am sure I tried the italic, but all my practising was done on so many test file pages when testing text formatting and so on I never kept the same page, just deleted them.  However I must admit that I could simply be wrong.  Reading up about variable fonts I can now understand why affinity has more important things topolish up.  variable fonts are relatively new I believe and take up a huge amount of data in a package.  However what I do remember is scrolling through the fonts while text was selected and I would definitelyhave noticed this before , that I can say.
