4EverMaAT Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Some fonts have a question mark before them, as shown in the photo. I wanted to know what it means exactly (not available, cannot import, etc) and how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The question mark is telling you Affinity cannot find that font, i.e. it's reporting as missing. 4EverMaAT 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Perhaps later I will create a new .afphoto project with more generic photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, "Courier" was a Postscript font used by Adobe and IBM, which Microsoft chose not to licence for Windows. Again, if your operating system is Windows, there were reports of some of the fonts, and in particular Arial variants, including Arial Black, not being present after upgrading Windows 10 from Windows 7. If your system is Windows 10, then check C:\Windows\Fonts, and see whether Arial Black is in the Arial folder. Are you by any chance using a font manager?
