[[Multi] RTL language text support]

No, Tia Lapis asked “So who besides Adobe supports it?” and tried to find answers why Serif still hasn't added it. This is the truth. Serif has not the power of Adobe, Microsoft, Corel, Apple and Inkscape. Even basic functions do not work correctly since many years. Many basic functions are still missing. Like RTL language text support. This is the truth. It even was not on the roadmap! But the Mesh Fill Tool, the Mesh Warp/Distort Tool, the Knife Tool, Replicate/Blend, … which are still missing features since years! So how can you get RTL on (top of the) roadmap of Serif?

Serif wrote “it is not a priority and should not be expected for many years.”

How can we get RTL on (top of the) roadmap of Serif?

I agree with you on this .. I really like affinity designer and I hope Serif will find a way to add all these feature in the near future

It is what it is. I don't get why it's so hard to accept what Serif said multiple times: It will take many years as it is not priority and hard to implement.

It is just a topic we talk about -- you are the one who doesn't accept us talking about it (and i really don't know why)

So who besides Adobe supports it? It is no money maker. Especially for a small company as Serif.

Exactly! 
That's why Adobe is the best and the biggest

RTL support is not basic, it's one of the hardest things to do on computers. Look around how few programs support it...

Vertical text (chinese and japanese) support is much easier and would be a much bigger moneymaker. Be honest - the arabic speaking community is not really a big software spender.

OK, So that's why Adobe supprt RTL

It depends on the language you want to support (Arabic for example can be really hard, Hebrew much less so), but in general it is not very hard to implement RTL especially considering that they probably have engineers that are specialized in typography working for them.
My assumption is that they have made some very core components of their programs without considering RTL, and there is no easy way to make major changes now after a lot is built over it.
I'm not sure why wouldn't they make it one of their highest priority considering that about half of the freaking world is RTL, it seems to me a really bad decision.

I use designer and photo for few years now and every time I need to typeset something in my own language I have to fight the program to make it work, come on Serif...
This is a real deal breaker for a lot of designers, I don't know if I would've bought it in the first place if I knew it would take so long to implement something so basic.

@dominik I understand but surely the later they leave it too late and the trio gain more features, wouldn't it make them into so much complex software and retrofitting will only add regression as it does not every time a new beta version comes out.

Support for RTL should have been there from day one.... imho.

Right now I am in the middle of a RTL project and you would not believe the issues I have had to get it working. So many fonts display incorrectly which means I had to abandon them and choose something else. A paragraph is now put together line-by-line as it would still mirror it to LTR if you just paste it and that is still an issue despite me using an app to "encode" the text so it is shown correctly as RTL and not LTR...

I hope they sort this out very soon...

I have the same issues, and I agree 100% with you guys
I have been using Affinity Designer for years now and whenever I want to use it to design Arabic designs I use external tools, and it's not acceptable at all, how a basic thing like this not implemented from the beginning in Affinity, it is a real  deal-breaker for a large number of designers

[affinity designer prevent text to go out of frame]

The reason for this is that having text that is nominally part of the page but you can't see it, seems pointless and confusing. I'm afraid you'll have to delete the surplus text manually. If you want to fill the frame with Lorem Ipsum, then use Text > Insert Filler Text and it will adjust dynamically to fit the frame.

 

thank you very much the "Insert Filler Text"  was very useful  :)
