diegocardoso Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I couldn't find any question related with this issue, so I've decided to start this topic. I usually install new fonts while I am working on the project. While using Adobe products, it wasn't an issue at all, but I realized that when I install a new font, the app doesn't update its fonts list automatically and I didn't find any button within the app that it could be done, so I would have to close and reopen it to have my new font at the fonts list. Is there any way to do that without closing and reopening the app to reload my computer fonts list? Thanks. elabx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 13, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi diegocardoso, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, there's no way to force the update of the font list other than restarting the application. We are aware of this limitation and looking into a way to solve the issue. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elabx Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This would be a very nice addition to Affinity. EDIT: To this day, there is already a menu that does this. Sorry for the inconvencience, this is the first thread that appeared on my Google search. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/11763-updating-font-list/&p=50520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 23, 2019 @roekeloos Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums I'm not sure why you reopened this old thread... did you follow the link in the post above yours? It represents a way to refresh the list without the software constantly listening out for new fonts being installed.
