ricecrispies Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have installed a truetype font in Windows 10. It appears in the Windows font settings, but it doesn't appear in the list of available fonts in Affinity Photo. I have tried logging out of Windows and logging back in again, but it still doesn't appear. How can I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricecrispies Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 I've discovered that the font is also not available in Inkscape, but it is available in WPS Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricecrispies Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I have now managed to get the font accessible in Inkscape by installing it using "install for all users" instead of just "install", but it's still not visible in Affinity Photo.

ricecrispies Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I've found a solution. The font is called 4077th. I got it from https://fonts2u.com/4077th.font I did two things. I don't know if the first one is necessary, but the second one definitely is: Firstly I opened the font in Fontforge and changed the family name from 4077th to a4077th because apparently a family name beginning with a digit is incorrect. I don't know if this step is strictly necessary. Secondly, the font as I downloaded it had no lower case Roman characters. Again in Fontforge I populated all the empty lower case Roman slots by copying and pasting from another font (I used Arial, but I think it probably doesn't matter what you use). Once I had done this I was able to reinstall the font (for all users), and it showed up in Affinity Photo.
