The typeface does not require any license when you try to use it for personal projects. So it's safer to give everything except the "regular" and "bold" weights their own family name, ie "MyFont Extra Bold" as part of the family name.How about 20,000+ Commercial Fonts with Unlimited Downloads Now, for some reason, some windows applications may be able to cope with more fonts in the same family and it'll work, but many won't. So font families with more than two weights need to have different values for "family name" for each weight (although the "book" and "bold" weight may still share a family name). Problem is, Windows only traditionally allows four fonts per family, including two weights, and slanted (italic or oblique) versions of these weights. So all four Times New Roman fonts (roman, bold, italic, and bold italic) share the same "family name" of "Times New Roman".
Inside your font files is a "family name" which is the same for an entire family of fonts. I wrote a reply, but then did some more research and realised I was all wrong. Looking like maybe a windows 10 issue? Anyone else come across this?įont families that you download from major vendors should be configured to "just work" in Windows. The ones listed in windows are the ones that show in Affinity not the ones that show in Paint.ĭon't have access to my other pc to test on it right now. If I only install 2 to windows those show up in Affinity. In Affinity I see HelveticaNeue italic and 6 options for Bold. I am at a loss.Ĭhecked other programs to see if it's Windows or Affinity and in paint I can see HelveticaNeue and HelveticaNeue BlackCondensed. Only five will install at a time as windows says it has already been installed and asks if I want to replace with the other (light vs lt). As soon as I deleted one, another style would show up.
Downloaded the file from three different places (cofonts, etc) all to the same issue.ĭeleted by hand from windows but only two showed up in the list. Read every forum on reddit and affinity that I could find about this and am still lost. So then I deleted the files from the manager (only ones I've added) and installed them directly. Helvetica Neue Light and Helvetica Neue Lt), activated it on my font manager (FontBase) and only 7 styles showed up, 6 were the same and one was different. I downloaded a copy of the Helvetica Neue family (11 styles - Helvetica Neue, and 2 of each of the others i.e. Updated to 1.9 and thought I was ready to go. So I just purchased another copy of Designer for a new PC.
