Same problem here.

Yes, that is a good workaround and woks well (screen). Anyway, the fact that I must open the Publisher, create paragraph style and import it to the Designer – just for a simple hyphenation really sucks...

OK, so I did some digging and found this article regarding the hyphenation Designers issue... The moderators statement: As I understand it, the hyphenation option should not be available in the first place, it does not work at all. I love all of the Serif apps and daily drive them for months now, but these are the little details that make me mad from time to time. Trying to achieve some results for a few hours (also installed dictionaries, spelling), just to find out that it is not possible. It is just frustrating.

Hey, I just do not understand why is hyphenation option available in the character settings, but it does not work. Any reasonable explanation, ideas?

Hello. Yes, I am aware of that, but that is also not the topic of this thread. Or maybe I did not understand you well. What I am talking about is the underline option of the word / selection and the possibility of tweaking its parameters (stroke, offset etc.). Anyway, thanks for the response

any update on this one from the Affinity team?

Yeah, that is a great example of how it should work, thanks for that. Anyway, it would be great to have an similar option on a word selection level. Since this is in a paragraph styling option, I can't select only one word in a paragraph and use this kind of an underline. Still, I don't understand, why it is possible in the paragraph styling, yet not possible to do in the character styling options.

Dear Affinity team, I really like the software, the Publisher really has the opportunity to replace the Adobe package in typesetting and graphic design. I've already started making youtube tutorials for friends in Slovakia to make their transition to AP as easy as possible. On the other hand, I would like to ask about the availability of some features (or if you plan to add them in the near future). The text underlining is currently limited to functionality that is not absolutely usable for typesetting (crossing out decenders/loops, different line width comparing to stroke etc.). Adjustment of the offset and line thickness are missing. Typically, the typographer will simply set them up to avoid these visual problems. Since these are essential requirements for using this tool, do you plan adding them?
