ALMattSr Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I purchased a font yesterday but it will not work in Affinity Photo. I’m able to get the font to work in MS Word & Apple Pages on my MacBook Pro. Sent it to a friend who has a PC. He could not get it to work in Affinity either. However said it worked for him in PhotoShop. Ideas? Edited October 13, 2019 by ALMattSr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted October 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks for your file, when Previewing the font on Windows it shows the following - I've opened the font through Font Forge and the following Glyphs are shown - Could you please confirm, is this an SVG font with no 'fallback' glyphs?

ALMattSr Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I apologize for my ignorance, I don't understand your question about SVG font with no "'fallback' glyphs. If it is helpful I can get it to work in other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks for that, this certainly appears to be an SVG font which unfortunately isn't supported in Affinity apps, hence your font isn't working - my apologies!

ALMattSr Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 After doing more research it is an SVG file that has been converted to OTF...ugh! Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an otf file that has vector svg components in it. It's part of the specification for OpenType. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
