[Copy/Paste issue]

OK, I know that this will borderline on the esoteric or arcane, but I'm reporting it anyways. I have a Windows form application that has a window that is essentially a browser window where I insert HTML. There is a mix of fonts, Bold and Italic in the window. I copy and paste that text into Word or LibreOffice Writer and the pasted text mirrors the font styling. So far, so good.

If I attempt the same paste into Affinity text boxes (so far, tested with Publisher and Designer) the styling is stripped. This holds true if I copy and paste from Edge or Chrome. However, if I first paste into LibreOffice Writer, then copy again and paste into any Affinity program, the fonts and styles show up. (I didn't test with Word, but I'm assuming something similar.)

Expectation: Affinity should handle the font styling from browsers the same as from Writer or Word without needing either as an intermediary.

[dominant-baseline problem]

I was generating some SVG and used the following:

<text class="ZFont3" x="19pt" y="238pt" style="text-anchor: start;dominant-baseline: text-before-edge;">Reflexive pronoun</text>

The text was positioned much higher than I expected. Loaded in a browser or Inkscape, it is positioned just fine. In Affinity applications, it's showing 15 points too high.

 

Additional information is the SVG start:
 

<svg width="567pt" height="980pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<style type="text/css">
  .ZFont1 { font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif; font-size: 9.75pt; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }
  .ZFont2 { font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 15.75pt; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; }
  .ZFont3 { font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif; font-size: 15.75pt; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }
</style>

 

[Vector/pattern fill]

I have alternated between Inkscape and AD. I'm a bit shocked that vector pattern fills aren't in AD since even basic SVG supports this. I didn't have time to read this entire thread, but I'm getting the impression that there aren't even plans to add this. I'd really love to hear that it is going to be added.

[Problem printing Thai diacritics]

The suggestion worked. Thank you.

[Problem printing Thai diacritics]

Thank you very much. I shall try your suggestion.

[Problem printing Thai diacritics]

The problem is pretty obvious when I go to print. I have a custom keyboard layout and I documented it using designer. Both Thai and European diacritical marks appear on the screen correctly. I'm trying to enter them in this message, but apparently the forum software is cringing at letting me enter them. I am referring to all of these: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/bidiclass/NSM. Here's a screen cap of the European: https://i.imgur.com/bHHJQP1.png By comparison, here is Thai: https://i.imgur.com/UHV12gR.png

Those are all correct on screen. But when I go to print those things, the European diacritics print properly, the Thai do not. Here is the printing of the previous European example: https://i.imgur.com/oqYYUEp.png and here is the Thai https://i.imgur.com/MNuhSrJ.png
