Hi Walt, Best advice ever! When selecting both swash cap and the following glyph the kerning pair will be recognized. Ralph

Try any font with swash caps and you will see. It's not the fonts, it's an issue with the apps mentioned above.

Sure I did, as you can see in the third line.

It's a fresh font of mine which I offered to MyFonts to make it public.

Hi, It's me again with that kerning stuff. Attached to this comment is a screenshot (Publisher Beta) with three lines. The first one is set in default, the third line was typed after activating the swash button in the typography panel. In the second line I wanted to change only two glyphs from default to swash, and exactly in this case the kerning will not be accepted. Crazy! Please beware that this issue also occurs in Affinity Designer and Photo (on the Mac)! Cheers

Hi Chris, I work with an iMac and macOS 10.14, so this issue appears also in the Mac version. Ralph

Seems a bug in Publisher, since all other apps like Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, and Pages handle this correctly.

Doing this procedure with the same font in Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, and in both apps the result is okay.

Sorry for replying so late. After clearing the font caches, this issue was solved. Cheers, Ralph

Affinity Publisher Beta 1.7.0.145. When I turned right-aligned words into small caps, the last word is reaching over the frame. Changing to words to normal, the words get back into the frame. See screenshots!

Seems that the beta version has an issue with recognizing the font's internal kerning table when certain letters start a sentence at the text frame (see screenshot).

In Affinity Designer 1.5.4 there seems to be an issue in distributing different endpoints of lines. In the attached file you see my attempt to give the lines a perspective appearance. But AD 1.5.4 did not react when a tried to spread the endpoints vertically. Regards, Ralph
