I often make certificates and awards in Illustrator and want to change over to Affinty Designer to do this work in the future. The problem is that many of the fonts I use, that have swashes or alternate caps and treatments, do not show up in the Glyphs panel. I often use the panels in Illustrator to choose and try out different versions of a letter in the font and being able to visually choose it is necessary. Here is an example:

Is there a preference setting I am missing here? Some switch that needs to be switched? For anyone doing Awards, Wedding Invites, or any documents that need fancy script or swashes, this is an important missing feature.

One of the only reasons I have not gone completely to Affinity and keep an old copy of Illustrator CS6 is because of the image trace function. Converting of bitmap/raster images to vector artwork is a mainstay for logo designers. Having to manually do this in Designer is a real drag.
