Fonts are missing in my 19. version

Postby ziastars » Thu Oct 10, 2013 6:57 am

The fonts are very limited...what happened to French Script, mattisse, papyrus etc, Edwardian script etc...where did they go???

Also, my editor now is disappointing...don't like it since it upgraded...not working properly, why is everyone always fixing what isn't broken to begin with?

Hi Ziastars,

I'm not sure what's happened with your fonts. The font selector box isn't even software that we write, it's third party software we use and it hasn't changed recently. I'll send you a private message with a link to the previous version, so you can use that if you prefer.

Hi ziastars,

The version I sent you was 1.18.6, I just double checked to make sure. Check in the about box to see what version you are running. If it's not 1.18.6, try downloading the version I sent you and installing it again. If you are running 1.18.6 now, and the fonts are still missing, it means it can't be the new software. You say it's not the same program, but in fact 1.19 only had a few subtle changes from 1.18. What change didn't you like?

It shows I am running 1.18.6, but it is not the same one ....I had a new hard drive installed in my pc recently, then I updated the version to 1.19.18 , then not happy with missing fonts and freezes....wrote on the bugs topic....you sent me the 1.18.6 to install...did that and it shows that version in "about" but has not changed from the appearance and missing fonts of 1.19.18...would you please send me another link to download and see if that will work? Still missing my favorite fonts to sign work with....papyrus, french script, edwardian script, matisse, etc...so many are gone... :?:

I may get used to the newer version, layout by using it...I will keep an open mind...just want my old fonts back..please help. Check the version I am requesting for the above mentioned fonts please...thanks

I've just got a second laptop and as I use the SPE so much I bought a second one for it.

I've started using it and I , too, have noticed that it seems different from the one on my other laptop. Some of the text fonts are missing (well lots actually) and the reset on effects slider.

I've also noticed that the ratings star is not present!

Should this be the case if I have the latest version?

Hi Ziastars,

The fonts displayed in SPE are just a list of the ones installed on your system. We don't include any fonts with our software. The appearance of the software hasn't changed much since you installed it. Is it possible that you're thinking of a different piece of software, which has fonts of its own? Another possibility is that something else has removed the fonts from your system. I can send you links to older versions of SPE if you think that will help, but unless you installed it years ago, it's not changed appearance radically since then and our font handling also hasn't changed. Do you know which date you installed it? You can see the list of changes here.

Hi RJMorgans,

All those features are just settings which you can change by clicking on File > Settings.

Thanks. I've managed to go into settings and get the reset and star rating features back.


It's so strange that this latest version has so many fonts missing. My one laptop is being fixed at the moment so bought another laptop and a second version of SPE and really miss the fonts I had.

I just can't understand why, when the program is updated they aren't updated as well!
