00:00Affinity apps, Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher do not have a built-in import font
00:04button inside the software.
00:06Instead, you install fonts directly into your computer's operating system, and Affinity
00:10automatically detects them.
00:12Step 1.
00:12Download and extract the font file.
00:14Download your font file from a trusted foundry or font site such as Google Fonts.
00:18Ensure the file format is DTF true type or OTF open type.
00:22If your download arrives as a compressed folder .zip, extract or unzip it, Windows, right-click
00:28the .zip file and select Extract All, then choose a destination folder.
00:32On Mac, double-click the .zip file to automatically unarchive the contents into a normal folder.
00:38Step 2.
00:38Install the font on your operating system on Windows.
00:41Open the unzip folder containing the .ttf or .otf files.
00:44Right-click the font files and select Install or Install for all users.
00:48Alternatively, you can drag and drop the font files directly into C, Windows fonts.
00:53On Mac, double-click the .ttf or .of font file to open FontBook.
00:57Click the Install Font button in the preview window that pops up.
01:01Alternatively, drag and drop the font files directly into the FontBook app window.
01:05On iPad Affinity for iPad, install a Font Manager app from the App Store, such as AnyFont
01:10or iFont, or use a configuration profile if supported.
01:13Open your Font Installer app, import the .ttf or .ofi file, and follow the prompts to install
01:19the profile into your iPad settings.
01:20Settings, then profile downloaded, then install, so Affinity can access system fonts.
01:24Step 3.
01:25Refresh and use an Affinity.
01:27Close your Affinity app, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, or Affinity Publisher completely
01:31if it was open during the installation.
01:34Reopen Affinity and open your document.
01:37Select the Artistic Text Tool or Frame Text Tool, highlight or type your text, and open
01:41the Font Family drop-down in the Context Toolbar or Character Studio panel.
01:45Search for or scroll to find your newly installed font name, and that's the full picture.
