Publisher has been released. but the problem of it not responding to Hindi fonts fully still exists. Affinity should look into it. they shouldn't ignore as there can be many users in India if this problem is fixed. An India would always like to publish things mostly in Hindi or any other Indic languages. S o do it fast.

See how it is not supporting Hindi fonts properly. 
I keyed in भगवद्गीता and षडयन्त्र on Mac's Pages and pasted them on the Affinity Publisher document  and see how erroneously they appear.
Affinity team should set it right soon if they want it to be popularised in India. 
I have purchased it from Apple Store. But, I can't use it for publishing books in Hindi.

This hasn't still been solved, I guess. I'm facing similar issues in Affinity Designer (the latest version) as well.
First file below shows a text (Triple) and it's literation in Gujarati - the correct way.
Second file shows the same text (Triple) in Gujarati in Affinity Designer - displays wrongly.
 
I was looking to ditch CorelDraw and completely move to Designer but now have to stop short as I have to type in Gujarati for most of my work. And it does not work with Copy, Pasting from Translate as well, so it's not that Designer would just type incorrectly.
I hope this can be addressed sooner than later.
 
Thanks.

Hi,
 
Ive been using the Hindi script (Devanagiri Sangam MN, Kruti Dev 021) and there is discrepancy in the way characters show up on Affinity. Attached two files: first one is the correct typo of the first 3 hindi texts, second one is the affinity file with character mismatches. Let me know how to proceed. Thanks!

Unicode fonts of languages other than English like Telugu, Hindi are not working on Affinity Designer, Photo and publisher. They are well supported on all Adobe products and Microsoft Office.
Example fonts can be downloaded from here:

Hello guys,
 
just bought the Windows version yesterday :) yay
I have just one question. In Poland the Corel Draw is pretty popular between printing houses and graphic designers. Do you plan to add support for Corel Draw file format someday in future? Or is this not possible?
 
Sincerely,
Thomas

I'm not asking to illegally extract fonts for my own use!  Currently, Affinity does not even display PDFs correctly when I DO have the fonts installed.
Yes, we need pass-through PDF for placing PDFs in Publisher: but we also need accurate Rasterisation to bitmap in Photo; and accurate vector editing in Designer (either with system fonts, replacements, or outlines). These things work perfectly in plenty of other apps, but not in Affinity.

After changing the baseline the text selection becomes very difficult, as a human we place the cursor at the text we intend to select but Publisher selects some other part of the text. This makes selection very difficult.
Kindly fix it.
