@Komatös @Alfred Very kind and helpful ...Thanks...

Question dictated by curiosity: What quick test to see if a font is faulty? A thousand thanks...

@David in Яuislip I followed your reasoning, and on the thread of this reasoning I did a test (since the original file visibility bore the date of when I had worked with the two programs Photo and Publisher from Publisher😞 I renamed the original file (the one that was there) visibility_options.dat to visibility-options-old.dat; in this way if something wrong happened I would have removed the '-old' and everything would be back as before; then, I started Photo (all normal) I opened a new document and I hardly believed it THE PROBLEM IS GONE, SOLVED. So logically, since the program works normally, the visibility file is formed when the apps are used at the same time and in any case, even if not exactly a bug, it is certainly a malfunction. Thank you all, you are a wonderful group of people always available ... Thank you ... Thank you ... Thank you ... See you soon hear from us

@Alfred Alfred, I followed your advice, but the result was negative. Thanks... @GarryP Yes Garry could be, sure it's a weird malfunction, I made a little video to show you that on a new document the text both Artistic Text and Frame Test have special characters; I just hope you see ... Any advice is appreciated ... Thanks Video_2021-10-20_142321.wmv

@DWright Thank you for your quick answer, I also have Publisher, but since this morning I have been working on Photo and I created these documents in Photo, which is the reason for the strangeness, it had never happened to me. Now in Photo I have tried to open new documents and I have the same behavior. Is there any way to get rid of special characters? Thanks for the support and sorry if I take your time ... @John Rostron This morning I turned on the PC, loaded Affinity Photo and started working, when I started writing something I immediately noticed the special characters also because up until now it had never happened and I can't remove them. I work on pc window 7 pro ultimate, APhoto version 1.9.1 and everything goes smoothly except this one. No, you're right they are not visible in the print or on the saved image. this thing intrigues me but in the meantime I can continue the work. Thanks for the time you dedicate to me.

Affinity Photo, suddenly when I type some text there are also special characters in blue (see annex); I wanted to remove the display but, I couldn't. I need your help. Thank you very much...

@Gabe Unfortunately the links don't work. Possible to correct? Thanks

@Dan C Thanks for interesting, unfortunately I cannot do what you requested immediately for two valid reasons (I think); the first is that I am completing a job and I cannot afford to install the next version because it would block my computer and I would be forced to reinstall 1.9.1 which, said between us, works well for me. The second is what I want to unplug for a few days and go to sea. But I can tell you that when I started 1.9.2 nothing happened, not even the first screen started, after about fifteen seconds a Windows warning came out saying that the system was not able to open the program. Give me some time then, when I have everything you ask for, I'll be the one to contact you. Thank you so much for your time...🙂

@Dan C Hi Dan sorry if I get involved in this thread, the problem is the same. I work on Windows 7 pro Ultimate, I have all three of the things you mention: Windows 7 Service Pack 1; KB2670838 platform update; Aero enabled. Yet I couldn't go beyond version 1.9.1; from 1.9.2 onwards the apps do not even start.

@walt.farrell @telemax My dearest friends, that was the problem, thank you for your help and for taking your time. To resent ...🙂

Salutations, Windows 7 - Designer 1.9.1 I was watching this tutorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00OVh6X8cR4 at the beginning you notice that there are four shapes with none stroke and gray fill, you can clearly see that when one element is selected the others show themselves as they are. On the other hand, to me, who reproduced the same sequence, the unselected objects show themselves as if they have a border. I've attached a screenshot where in line 1) it's how it looks on my pc, while in line; 2) it's how it should be; I assure you that the elements have none stroke and gray fill. I went around it a lot but I didn't get anywhere, maybe it's a trivial thing and I hope for your advice ... Thanks

@callum Thanks, clear and decisive answer.

No one who can tell me what the 'Re-entry level' indicated by the yellow arrow is and what is it for? Thank you...

@walt.farrell Thanks walt, your advice is greatly appreciated.

Salutations, a quick quick question: I would like to be able to put a small text frame on a page with some text inside that reminds me of something and which, however, does not have to be printable ... is it possible? Thank you...

Hello everyone, (APublisher 1.9.1 - Windows 7 Pro Ultimate) help me understand: as soon as a booklet was finished, the summary had to be drawn up; I knew it was based on paragraph styles and I had prepared everything to that effect but, creating a table of contents for the first time with AP to avoid complications, I looked at this: https://affinity.serif.com/it/tutorials/publisher/desktop/video/337458714/ Well, I went and generated the Table of Contents, all good except that the page numbers were missing. So I started with my head down, looking all over again - no numbers result. I do not take long, after fiddling left and right I found this (see image) as soon as the tick is checked, the page numbers appeared, where indicated by the yellow arrow I can not understand what it is for, I have tried with various values but, nothing happens: what is it for? I would like to clarify that the hamburger menu in question is not mentioned anywhere in the videos or in the guide and, by default, the page number box is not checked. Can you help me understand? Thanks in advance to those who give me a hand ...

@G13RL @PixelPest The solutions you have proposed to me and the advice you have given me solve the problem perfectly. Help was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much...

Hello, Affinity designer 1.9.1 Once the two nodes A and B have been selected, is there a command or a combination of keys to make them move closer or further away from the center of the object? Thanks so much

After doing the clipping, right click on the layer and choose Rasterize and trim.

When you have finished drawing the first line, release the Shift key and start somewhere else; click to start a new line and Shift key pressed and click on the end point. Repeat until bored ...

Just do a search and see ... Meanwhile, I tell you that @walt.farrell is right when he says to reinstall an old version it is necessary to delete the one in use on the computer. But the real problem is that when you reinstall the old version all settings, presets, brushes, styles etc are lost; for this reason I prefer to have a backup always at hand in order to be able to restore everything in a short time without losing almost anything.

@Leigh - I thank you for the answer, I learn that the problem is known to the developers, does this mean that those who work on Win 7 have the road over to update APhoto? Will we necessarily have to switch to a new Operating System or is it just a temporary fact that will sooner or later be remedied? I apologize for all these questions but I am very interested in knowing ... THANK YOU

Hi @walt.farrell, thank you very much for the time you dedicate to me; unfortunately, I don't have the information you ask because, as I said in the first post, having a fresh backup of the day and urgent work to finish I preferred to restore everything and go back to 1.9.1 as soon as possible. As soon as I have some free time, I will redo the installation of 1.9.2 and take all the screenshots of the case together with the report files you asked for. Thanks again and to hear from you soon ... EDIT: Or do you think it is better to wait for some patches since there are many users complaining?
