The good news: PhotoLine now displays fonts the same as other design apps. No more gibberish!

The bad news: with certain fonts type family members are still duplicated for some reason.

I downloaded Avenir LT Std font from this source https://www.deefont.com/avenir-font-family/ and here is how it look on macOS. No duplicates. Maybe it is different bugfixed version of the font?

Small request for the absolute leading default value: it would be great if the default value would be calculated according to the default assumed leading size.

Or at the very least according to a [current font size] * 1.2 (based on the general typography rule that the basic leading should be set to 120% up to 140% of the font size).

That would prevent the 'collapse' of the entire paragraph to a single messy line

I find a problem that is not related to PhotoLine, but who knows, maybe it will help to fix something. I have about 20-30 fonts that visible in ProtoLine as ? ? ? ? ?. In other apps those fonts are not visible in fonts list at all. But in macOS Quicklook and FontBook fonts are visible. Mostly those are fonts with fancy symbols and dated to 1997-2000's. Nice example is free font Gothic Leaf https://www.dafont.com/gothic-leaf.font

Today i try to convert one of these fonts using font editing application from GothicLeaf.ttf to GothicLeaf-Regular.otf and this fixed the problem, now it is visible in PhotoLine.

I guess problem is due some invisible and unassigned characters in font itself. Converted font don't have these characters anymore.

The font doesn't have a PostScript name and therefore doesn't work on macOS. PhotoLine internally also uses the PostScript name, therefore it also doesn't work in PhotoLine on Windows.

I write here because even I use an older version of PhotoLine, I tried that the issue I noticed with it, is still present in last beta. The issue is the lack of .HEIC file in conversion file list (if I not wrong and can't see it with another name). Sometimes I like to convert my .HEIC pictures (to .JPEG) and apply an action to reduce it's size, without touching existing .JPEG pictures that are in the same folder. The workaround is pretty simple, I move .HEIC files in a new folder and move back converted .jpegs... so it's not a huge problem. But I guess it's even not a great work to add .HEIC in file list.

I also report about similar bug long time ago:
HEIC image format is missing in "Browse" image formats menu.

Grad heute hatte ich eine Schrift, die je nach Zoomstufe Ersatzschriftart oder falsche Buchstaben gezeigt hat, und das Problem ist nun weg
