Cmy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I recently installed a font (soak up the sun: https://befonts.com/soak-up-the-sun-brush-font.html ), the SVG font simply would not display when I type, it was just blank, not text would show. How can I resolve this or is there compatibility issues with affinity designer and svg fonts? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hi Cmy, Welcome to the forums I've downloaded this font here and installed it into Affinity Designer for iPad - the font can be selected and appears correctly for me, in both it's regular and bold variant. Could you please confirm for me, did you install the font through Affinity, or through another app/iOS? Please make sure your text colour is set to something other than white & is not at 0% opacity!

Cmy Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hi Dan, I just realized the link to the font I’ve provided does not include the problematic font. I have no problem with the script font but the svg font (both regular and bold) just would not display. Unfortunately the link to where I purchased the font is no longer available, but I’ve screenshots the fonts installed here, not sure if you would be able to see what the issue is.. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmy Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks again for looking into it quickly. I’ve tried another SVG font (Maria rose: https://creativemarket.com/SilverStag/3727769-Maria-Rose-Elegant-Script-SVG-Font) and I’m experiencing the same problem, even though the font is installed, the text would not display on the app if the svg font is selected. Is there a way to fix this or am I not doing something right? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I don't have an iAnything... SVG fonts that do not have fallback glyphs do not work in Affinity applications. The Maria Rose font is a font without fallback glyphs. For the The Soak up the Sun font, the version from the link isn't an SVG font so I cannot test it as an SVG font. The SVG font, Bluesky, is an SVG font that demonstrates what happens when fallback glyphs are present. In the screen shot below is the Bluesky font in AD, which uses fallback glyphs at the top of the screen shot. At the bottom is how that font looks when using an application that can use SVG fonts as designed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmy Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks MikeW, I was under the impression that AD supports svg font completely. Appreciate your clarifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
