Yes, all applications on Macs use/integrate the Mac font handler.
So it may know how to read the instances properly, but the Affinity apps still cannot use the font instances.On Windows for the Bahnschrift variable font I just see "Regular" listed for all instances.
This is the default master - which is the fallback shown and used when variable fonts are not supported.If you search the forum you will see multiple posts regarding variable fonts and color fonts.
Neither is yet supported.
But they keep saying that support is planned for the future.Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know about that.
That still doesn't change the fact that the instances are sorted alphabetically rather than by their weight or width as it would make sense.

Affinity applications do not currently support variable fonts, nor color SVG fonts.
Any fonts listing you see is just sort of a fluke.
How do you explain that I have this variable font listed with all the instances, then? Does MacOs generate them?

Styles of font are sorted alphabetically and not how they are sorted in the font or by style's value.
You can see example of this font https://www.futurefonts.xyz/jan-sindler/rotor that is sorted correctly inside, but still appears alphabetically sorted.
The names of the first example range from 0 to 360 and I would like to see them sorted as I produced the font.
The other example is font that is in progress, but you can already see the same problem. Alphabetical sorting. Those Bolds, Italic and Regular are even linked so they know about each other but still they appear sorted alphabetically.Bug thanks for supporting variable fonts, at least partially

when leading == 0 and you fill text frame with lorem ipsum, it enters infinite loop. Please make it check if leading is set. Thanks

Did you import a PDF file, or did you simply type the text?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @jansindl3r.
For the uneven letter spacing, check the tracking and kerning values in the Character panel. For both the wide ‘ij’ on the left-hand side and the narrow ‘ij’ on the right-hand side, look for horizontal scaling values other than 100%.
This is not that should be even possible, I didn't do anything crazy and this happens? it's clearly a bug.

Hi, I have seen that you have problems with GSUB substitutions in more situations.
This is screenshot of Courier New, MacOs Mojave running latest Affinity publisher 1.8.2
The difference is visible, though the right - wrong case - is in text field.Looking into the font, I discover that it doesn't have any subsititutions, either kerning (monospaced). Is this done automatically by Affinity designer?

I understand why you did it, ligatures lock text from tracking. I have designed a font where this is solved by changing f and l not by single glyph fl but by just chaning the f, as you can see in the atached picture.
1) user should have option to turn this off. If can, where can I do it?
2) it should be applied only on liga feature where two glyphs change with one glyph
Thanks, Jan





Image can't be dragged into a curve to be trimmed

Hello, I hope I am not doing anything wrong, but this happens quite often. After some moments it starts to work as expected, is it a known bug or am doing something wrong? I am expecting that after dragging the .png image into a curve it fill it and the picture won't be visible outside of the curve. Why this works once and not the other time?
