It's worse than annoying. If you return to a design you were working on some time ago and want to know the font name, perhaps to use elsewhere, you can't because it's in Chinese. It's a bug that was in version 1 and hasn't been fixed for version 2. It's not even a hidden, occasionally seen bug, but a nuisance every time you use Designer. Please fix it!!

Is it possible to change the language of individual text boxes (both Art text and Frame text) in AD on iPad? I know that I can change the system language in settings and I know how to do this in AD on desktop (in the Character studio) but I can't find mention of it for the iPad. I often work with text in two languages in one document.

Yes, me too. This is still an issue 6 months later. If you select one of the iPad keyboard predictive text suggestions, it isn't inserted into the text: the word you were typing is instead truncated.

@CallumThe fonts on both devices are just automatically installed via the creative cloud apps.

I use Designer on iPad frequently, on Mac OS less so. In the last few days the currently selected font is named in Chinese, yet the font list is in English and there are no Chinese named fonts there. This is the same on both iOS and Mac OS. The only thing I can think of is that in the last few days I have started using an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (from my workplace) on both iPad and Mac which is installing a few of the fonts. But this behaviour is happening both to Adobe fonts (e.g. Cheap Pine) and non-Adobe ones (e.g. DIN Condensed). My iPad version is apparently 1.10.19, even though the latest build is apparently 1.10.3. I'm very confused. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling on desktop but not on iPad. iPad Pro running 15.3 with 1.10.19 (and MacBook Pro running 12.1 with a newly downloaded and installed 1.10.4)

Many thanks for your reply, Dan. I absolutely LOVE Affinity Designer, especially on iPad.

Hi, I know how to do this on the desktop version ("spread") but can't see it on the iPad version. If I place a multi-page PDF into a designer file and then want to display a page other than page 1, how can I do it? I can see that I can double-click on the imported layer and view the embedded document; I can then delete all the pages except the one I want to display. But I have a feeling there must be a better way. (With the delete method, if I then want to duplicate the layer to display a different page elsewhere, I can't because I just deleted all the other pages!) Thanks in advance. I have searched for the answer but drawn a blank.

I’m so frustrated by this. Please, another of your wonderful explainer videos. Firstly the video tells you to touch either inside or outside the path depending on how you want the text to wrap. The only thing that works for me is to click ON the path. Secondly, I want my text on the outside of the path around the bottom of a circle. I can get the text around the outside at the top but not around the outside of the bottom. See screenshot. And what do the orange and light green control handles do? It’s mystifying. I assume that dark green and red mean start and end of the text respectively. please help. This software is awesomely intuitive to use, but this feature is absolutely mystifying. A control panel might help?
