Hello, Yesterday I told Ally Anderson from Affinity Revolution about an oddity when replacing a missing font. She replied tonight and recommended that I post the experience in this bug section, which I have done herewith. I have macOS Monterey (12.6.3) installed, on an iMac-27 inch from late 2015 with 32 GB DDR3 memory. I work with Affinity Publisher 2 (version 2.0.3). Unfortunately, I did not take a screenshot of the process because, as explained below, I had already deactivated and even deleted the PostScript font in question and everything happened so quickly. Hello Ally! Please allow me one more question about the Publisher. Have you ever replaced a font in version 2. I had used a PostScript font in a manuscript. This was TheSans Plain, which I then disabled with other PostScript fonts. In addition to Publisher 2, the mac OS has recently also become unhappy with the old PostScript fonts. But since I also have an OpenType file of TheSans (Thesis), I activated it. Of course, the document I opened again showed an error message in Affinity Publisher. Using the font management and the resource management, I entered in the font window exactly with which new font the deleted one should be replaced and then closed the window. Unfortunately, the Publisher didn't replace the deleted font, but continued to display the missing font until I selected a paragraph and called up the new font by hand. Only then was the Publisher satisfied, and I could update the remaining paragraphs of the manuscript with the revised text style. To me, this seems to be a programming error in Publisher. I can't explain it any other way. So the question to you is if you have noticed something like this. If so, it would have to be passed on to Serif. With best regards Clemens Her answer: I agree with you. That sounds like a programming error. I have never needed to replace a font with Version 2, but it sounds like you did everything correctly. - Ally Anderson

Yeah, thank you both for explaining. Sometimes it's a bit complicated to communicate with other layouters who don't know Affinity Publisher and still swear by InDesign. The eye trained by Friedrich Forssman and Ralf de Jong is decisive for one's own practice in any case. Thank you again and stay healthy in these apocalyptic times!

I like to use eighth space or half quarter space for spaces between numbers in the typesetting. Affinity Publisher offers the hair space. If I use a double hair space, I feel that this corresponds to the eighth space. Can anyone of you please tell me if this is true? Thanks in advance, deister fox

Since version 1.8.1, Affinity Publisher can also handle idml files. This is fantastic and quite ingenious. But if I want to exchange files with designers who unfortunately still work with InDesign and I have to convince them of the publisher's quality, I have a problem. I can't export an idml file that has been edited and corrected in Publisher as an idml again. Is there a way to choose an export format that this poorly programmed Adobe program understands? Collegial greetings, Clemens

Thanks for the hint, but there was nothing to see. Apparently it was annoying that the frames for the page numbers on the master page were a bit higher than the text containers. After the frames for the page numbers had been deleted, no more error messages appeared. But there was definitely no text overflow.

I have difficulties in having the supposed text overflow displayed in a document. This morning I wanted to export a PDF from a created document. Affinity Publisher showed me a window. According to this, text overflow should occur in at least one frame. But I can't find a red eye or any other red hint in the text containers. Only when clicking on the boxes for the page numbers created on the master page, red dots appear, however, additional text except "Nr." is not to be found also in this frame. I am a little perplexed.

Oh my Got, excuse me, now I found out: shift + cmd + end, as with other similar programs!

One more question. Is there also a so-called monkey handle– a keyboard shortcut – in the Publisher to mark and delete all the remaining text in a box from the cursor?

Yes, thank you, Joachim_L was right on target, it's not about a headline, but about a bold lead text. If it cannot be formatted in a box at the moment, several elements have to complement each other. Thanks for your hints. Sample3.pdf Sample2.pdf

Hello, I am currently trying to create a two-column leader in a manuscript with a four-column break and generate a text style for it. So far, however, I have only managed to run the opening part or lead-in in one column. Do I have to create a separate box for a preamble that is to extend over two columns?

In Affinity Photo 1.6.12 , therefore in the previous version very helpful presets were available in the Studio feature Adjustment. Now, in 1.7.1, the presets are missing except for the default preset. Is it possible to reactivate the sopplied presets before applying my own? It's easier to learn using the supplied presets. Thanks in advance for a helpful tip.

Oh thanks, it works very well …

Is there any possibility in Affinity Photo 1.7.1 with the Selection Brush Tool to change the Mode Add or Substract by shortcut? Maybe someone can help me …
