I don't get why Affinity can't accurately import PDF even after I installed all the fonts required to my computer.

Couldn't there be an option where the PDF doesn't get parsed to editable text fields at all but rather imported as a set of paths? That way it's not editable text but at least it's identical to the original.

CMR8, etc. is indeed a font set. CMXX stands for Computer Modern and was developed by Donald E. Knuth. I'm having the same problem here. I installed all the fonts from here (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/) but still it doesn't look right at all. I tried replacing all the fonts with the right one, but still many elements just break and it seems like all white spaces vanish. I attached a screenshot. (left: affinity, right: original)

I tried using 2 paths. One path in solid red and the other path slightly lighter colored with a gaussian blur applied to is. With this technnique I could at least get the center to appear lighter, but still, it's nowhere near a propper gradient and the ends look off. I'd have to move the endpoints to resolve this. Seems way to complicated for such a simple effect.

So there's no way in creating the result I want in designer?

Yes, when I use the gradient tool, the gradient does not follow the path.

Hi, I want to vectorize the image below, but when it came to creating the bend cables I found no way of applying a gradient that would lead to the desired result. How can I rotate the direction in which the gradient is applied to the path? Or is there any other way of getting the result I want?

How can I make the tool snap to the grid when using the polygonal-selection tool?
