[A font doesn't show all the styles]

I can provide the fonts I use and I will test yours once I go to my office.

indeed the fonts don't use regular after the name but not sure how is this working in one PC and not in the other one. Maybe it is some service pack on windows part?

I just noticed that the windows at home are 1903 and at office 1909, but I'm not sure if I found out this problem before or after I did the update to 1909.

 

Caviar-Dreams.zip

 

edit: I traced back the font, I got it many years before from this blog http://www.nymfont.com/2009/06/new-caviar-dreams-font.html

not sure if it is the same version with the font squirrel, I will check it at office. Nexusfont report mine as version 4.0

Hi Nitro,

If possible could you provide the fonts in question so I can look into this further with you?

Thanks

Thanks for your respond, I will be at my office later on and I will upload it.

[A font doesn't show all the styles]

Hello I have a weird issue with the font caviar dreams.

For whatever the reason in the system at home it show all the variants of the font, regular, italic, bold, bold italic, but I went to the office today only to find out that there with the same fonts and the fonts working on others apps, the affinity designer can't see italic and bold of that font for some reason.

I don't know if this is present in another font I just use this for a work and I get the error when I open the file that the caviar dreams bold is missing.

I checked in other applications and the font manager I use and the font is there.

I tried to install in system just in case and still it doesn't work... I'm confused, everything between my home and office are at sync, windows, affinity versions, etc.

Is there an option that I miss and probably force this font out?

 

Thank you!

well this is embarrassing... I only looked for a checkbox and missed this!

 

Thanks

[Keep aspect ratio on object resize?]

Hello I moved my workflow at home and now I strangle to find the option to keep the object's aspect ratio when I resize it from the corner. In the office it keep the aspect ration when I resize it but in home I can't figure out what other to do than press shift while resizing (no big deal sure but I love the freedom to work only with the mouse in some operations).

 

Where is the option?

 

Thanks!

[Expand stroke issues]

well that was quick

tried at home that I have 1.7.3 and expand works, anybody can confirm that it worked fine in 1.7.3 and broke with 1.8 or it is just something else because I use a different system here?

[Getting an invoice for buying affinity?]

Hi, nitro912gr. 

Μπορώ να σου γράψω Ελληνικά πιστεύω. Βρήκες άκρη με το τιμολόγιο. Ενδιαφέρομαι να αγοράσω τα προγράμματα αλλά θέλω τιμολόγιο, τους έστειλα δύο emails από μέρες αλλά δεν μου απαντήσανε. Μπορείς να με πληροφορήσει σχετικά σε παρακαλώ, αν ξέρεις; 

Καταρχάς πρέπει να έχεις ενδοκοινωτικές συναλαγές ενεργοποιημένες, ρώτα το λογιστή σου για αυτό. Να μπορείς να αγοράζεις από ΕΕ και να δέχεσαι τιμολόγια (αφού θα μπεις στην διαδικασία βάλε να μπορείς να κόψεις κιόλας για ΕΕ)

Στείλε email απευθείας στην serif και ζήτα invoice χωρίς χρέωση VAT για να μην σε χρεώσουν VAT, από το eshop δεν μπορείς να το επιλέξεις εσύ. Εγώ έστειλα στο affinity@serif.com

Θα σε καταχωρήσουν ως εταιρία και θα σου πουν τι θα κάνεις παρακάτω. Εγώ δυστυχώς δεν το είχα υπόψιν και προχώρησα σε αγορά με invoice μέσα από το eshop και χρεώθηκα κανονικά ΦΠΑ χωρίς δυνατότητα να το πάρω πίσω αφού ολοκληρώθηκε η συναλαγή.

Δεν ξέρω τι παίζει με το brexit τώρα όμως. Ίσως προλαβαίνεις ακόμα.

Αν δεν προλαβαίνεις θεωρειτικά και απλή απόδειξη αγοράς αρκεί τελικά, ρώτα απλά τον λογιστή σου μην τυχών πρέπει να γίνει κάποια συγκεκριμένη καταχώρηση εκ μέρους του. Πχ για τον υπολογιστή που είχα από πριν έπρεπε να δηλωθεί ως κάτι που δεν έχει τιμολόγιο αγοράς γιατί το είχα ως ιδιώτης και το έβαλα στο γραφείο στην πορεία.

[Expanding Strokes Issue]

Hey thanks for noticing that in the new document it does not occur, I can now at least workaround it till is fixed.

Still happens with the star shapes and the rest of the ready made shapes of affinity.

[make an object outline?]

1 minute ago, Dan C said:

Thanks for confirming that, if you select the curves that make up the central line, then go to Layer>Geometry>Merge Curves this will combine multiple objects into one 'Curves' object on the layers panel. Will this work for your laser cutter?

this works but I'm looking for a way to get those curves "exported" from the object. For example the K above I made those by myself with the Pen tool. While it is not a big deal for a couple of simple letters, sometimes I have a couple of words with complicated curves and I need a way to convert those automatically.

Hi nitro912gr

You can use Layer>Convert to Curves, then Layer>Expand Stroke to convert any objects into an 'outline' vector object - is this what you're looking for?

thanks but I look for quite the opposite, to make an object a stroke of short, just a stroke in the center of the it.

(also trying this you said gave a weird result of the expand stroke that someone mentioned again recently)

You conveniently left the "shortly" part off your quote I see

[make an object outline?]

Hello, is there a way to have an object and turn it into an outline automatically?

 

For example here is a K, the black is the original object and the white line is what I want to make. I need it to be one line for the laser machine to burn it on wood with a single line.

 

 

thanks!

I tried to do this but I don't get this weird results, maybe it have something to do with fill mode under "layer" menu? I have alternative.

Is this what you want to see in Publisher?

https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-numbered-tickets-the-easy-way-in-indesign--vector-1863

seems like that but feels harder than the way I have shown above for indesign.

Anyway I didn't had time to test the above mentioned method yet from Dave Harris but if you have anything to add on how to do things like this in publisher you are more than welcome!

[Ready to use mockups?]

Hello! Is there a site that have affinity photo mockup files that are pretty much automated?

Like adding your design in a .psb layer and the mockup do the warping and layering effects?

Is this even possible with photo? I mean if I can't find a mockup, can I make one like this?

 

 

[Affinity Designer for Windows - 1.7.2]

Since this bug show up from time to time, can anyone confirm that this update keep panel settings?

[Affinity Designer for Windows - 1.7.0]

holy s*** guys what have you done? It took around a minute for affinity designer to open with me 2700 fonts and now it opens instantly! (I have an ssd)

if this is just with the improvements alone I wonder how much faster it could be with the gpu support later on!

Thank you for another great update!

[Weird behavior of UI after export PDF]

oh good to know it is a bug, for a moment I was afraid that it was just my system.

Thanks for your help!

[Weird behavior of UI after export PDF]

I just tried to save directly to my desktop and same thing happened.

Also tried directly to C:\somefolder (SSD) in case the big path is the problem but still the same happens.
