Threads here do get complicated! I’m afraid a lot of this discussion is over my head, but I appreciate the time and effort. The Khmer font does work in APub and it also will provide a Bold version if the drop-down at the top left of the page is used. I guess I’ll just stick with that 🙂

@kenmcd Thank you for going to so much trouble. I know I can do it with the drop-down, but I just don't like things that don't work if they should 🤷‍♀️ 😊

@thomaso I agree the option isn't there with the button, but it is on the drop-down next to the font name to the left, along with 'Regular'. Does that not mean it is a trait offered with the font, or is it applying something which is imposed on the font by APub? It all seems crazily complex to do such a simple thing. @kenmcd It's included with macOS Sonoma

@kenmcd It's Khmer MN

@walt.farrell @thomaso I can make it bold manually with the drop-down next to the font list, so I assumed the ⌘ B would work. @Brian_J Bold is available, but I haven't defined a style - I didn't realise I needed to just for this.

Hi all. Sorry to be asking yet another question. Is anyone else having issues with a non-working Bold shortcut - ⌘ B - in APub please? I'm on a MacBook running Sonoma and I just get the 'nuh-uh' buzzer sound. Other shortcuts seem to be ok, so I'm wondering if this is a bug or if it's been changed?

@leprGenius! So simple and well within my newbie understanding. Thank you.

@GarryPThank you for your reply. Putting up a screenshot is something I must remember to do when I ask something on the forum!

@Bit Disappointed Thank you for your reply. It’s certainly one way round it, but I’d have thought one more option on the menu wouldn’t break the bank 😊

@walt.farrell Thank you for your reply. Clicking the delete or backspace key anywhere on the screen just gets me a ‘you can’t’ bleep. The only time it does work, on Designer anyway, is when I’m using text. As I said in my original post, personally I’d find it really useful to have Delete available on the right-click menu wherever the cursor is on the screen. Having to scoot across to the layers panel every time is nearly as bad as having to go down to the trash can in the furthest right corner.

I don't have it on mine for some reason. This is the menu I get if I right-click on a selected item. The only time delete is there is if the item is just text and the text tool is selected. I'm running Mac Sonoma and V2 affinity, although I haven't applied the very latest update yet...

@iconoclast Thank you for the explanation about the brushes. It makes more sense now.

@thomaso Thank you. That’s what I was trying to achieve. I didn’t create the brushes by the way, I just used them 😊

I would find it really useful to have Delete available on the right click menu for layer items please. I keep automatically going there for it and then remembering we have to go to the bottom of the layers panel, which is not good. Thank you 😊

Thank you both. I’ll explore that after this project deadline. No time to experiment just now.
