Clavote Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hi in last pub beta I'm left with only one ARIAL font... ARIAL MT regular and cannot select ARIAL regular as it reverts back to ARIAL MT. In earlier Pub betas and in designer1.65 I could see and select all the variants of ARIAL (9 of them).

I don’t have any MT variants here, but I imagine it might make a difference for those who do. Arial Black and Arial Narrow can also cause problems.

kenmcd Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Can you check your Windows fonts directory and see if you have any duplicate fonts installed? For example: arial.ttf and arial_0.ttf, etc. Have to use a tool which allows you to see the actual files, not the Windows font list interface. You seem to have a mix of Arial fonts from Win10 and earlier Windows versions. Some of your Arial fonts are not included it Win10. So I am wondering if some duplicates got installed and that is confusing the new font reader in APub. The version of Arial (R/I/B/BI) included in Win10 is v7.000 - so you can check that too. Have you installed the Arial Nova supplemental fonts for Windows 10? You didn't mention it so I thought I would confirm yes or no. On Windows 7 x64 I am not having any issues in APub with the same list of various Arial fonts. Clavote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavote Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 LibreTraining Thanks a lot for your help, everything went back to normal when I deleted Arial MT (1) from the Windows/font folder and rebooted! it was indeed a duplicated font Have a nice Day Claude Alfred 1 Windows 10 pro 64; HP elitebook 1050 G1; A-Designer latest; A-Publisher latest; A-Photo Latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
