Question

Some fonts with different font weights appear the same on desktop & online

Hello,

I have a bug in Adobe XD + George font (Envato Elements), fonts weights seem to not apply correctly. Some font weights in this font work fine. But Light, light italic, regular, semi-bold, semi-bold italic are all the same. Normal italic, bold & bold italic works fine..

I've added a video to reproduce this, if someone at Adobe who tries to troubleshoot this needs the font please DM me.

I'm on Windows 10 1903 & Adobe XD 26.0.22. I tested this on a friends Windows PC and it is the same, haven't tested on a mac yet (don't have a mac laying around :P).

It seems like there are many more bugs on the Windows version, maybe there has to go more budget to bugfixing on Windows? When the file is large for example input fields are getting buggy, the program freezes & since the latest update export doesn't always work... Please go and test your software on Windows because I don't pay so much to have such a bad experience on Windows...

Thanks in advance,

Remy

Having the same issue with Roboto Slab. This issue has been around for more than 3 years now. When are you guys going to fix this?

Having the same issue. Kind of.
Signa OT Book is dispayed as Signa OT Book Italic. Other weights in the family also mess up, not all. Only in XD. Seems like there's a lot of versions of both the problem and work arounds that work in some cases and not in others.

In my case the fonts were already in OTF-format. I tried converting the Book weight to TrueType-format and installed that one. When editing the text it now stills looks wrong, but after the edit is done, it display correctly. So odd.
Realy hoping for a proper fix, Adobe.

I´m having this same issue with Exo font. It actually did work before, but after I changed computer and windows was also updated, since that, several fonts have not worked as they should. All the font weight options are mixed up. InDesign, photoshop, Illustrator working well. Please, any fix for this?

I have converted the font (Exo) from ttf file to > otf. It seemed to help some after deleting the whole font and reinstalling it as otf file format.

I'm having the same issue with Quicksand font from Google. When I check it on Adobe Photoshop everything is fine but in Adobe Xd the font weights all turn to Regular.

Windows 10, Adobe XD. Tried installing Inter from Google Fonts, direct from Inter's website (https://rsms.me/inter/), tried static files and variable file. This has happened with other fonts as well (Exo, I believe). Followed this thread (https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/text-variable-font-issue-in-xd-windows/td-p/11001813?page=2), didn't solve problem. Can't use a font requested by client. I'm speechless right now.
