[Unicode Font Issue]

@Dhananjaya Dissanayake I just cut that text from your posting at the start of this thread and pasted it into Affinity Designer, and it came in as the correct Unicode characters.  On my Windows 10 machine, they are being rendered from the Sinhala block of the Nimala UI font.

So if there is a problem, it is with the font, not with Designer, I think.

Not in Mac though. V1 and V2.... No difference.

Same3 here. Just purchased the V2 universal license, but no luck. So far I have purchased multiple licenses for each of the V1 products and now V2, but no luck with Indic scripts so far. Still having to use InDesign/Scribus for my work.

I have v1 and I downloaded and installed v2 trial (luckily I didn't buy) on a MacBook . Sinhala (unicode) font rendering is still broken.

Affinity team, Fixing this must be #1 priority for a commercial designer tool IMO. Your product is not usable for considerable portion of the world population. 🤦‍♂️
