After spending three hours last evening trying to activate fonts via FontBase...in AI and Affinity Designer...I was really exhausted.
Because it was not working I even uninstalling FontExplorer X Pro to find out it still didn't work unless I restarted my computer.
When I tried to install FontExplorer X Pro again it wouldn't open.
I ended up downloading the latest version in Free Trial.Really frustrating to lose an evening of work, specially now with a toddler.
Paid Apps that weren't working...WTF?!
So I'm still checking what's wrong with FontBase but I will probably end up using FontExplorer X Pro, something that I use for ages and only recently started giving me problems.
Hopefully with all updates and upgrades everything runs smoot again.
Thanks for reading and for the advice/input!
