Unicode Font Incompatibility (other than English language)
Proton replied to Murali Krishna's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Guys years have passed, and developers are aware, does it have a logical closure? Even in V2.2.1... no update? -
When will this become reality... After V1 shelled out money for V2 and eagerly installed V2.2 also... No updates... Gimp could easily implement ages ago, and Inkscape, why Affinity is struggling? I tried langugage, script etc in Styles... no luck, it doesn't render the glyph as they should.

The font issues are still not resolved. Gimp and PS handle Indic fonts better. Affinity's challenge is making our work too difficult. The language here is Telugu నైతిక (See how it is in affinity in screenshot) ద్రవ్యం (See how it is in affinity in screenshot) Now in Affinity Designer, it shows like this in the attachment. Example 1: నైతిక Let me explain how the glyph should work, (taking first letter alone) The first letter in first example is pronounced "Na" -> న When it is added with a vowel "ai" it becomes "Nai" -> నై , the tick on head is replaced by two extended forms up and down. Similarly "Ta" -> త When added with "i", it becomes "Ti" -> తి , the tick replaced with extended form. In affinity, the tick is retained and added with additional forms. It is almost impossible to work with Indic fonts, and looking for support for almost 4 years on this! It happens on all UTF-8 fonts. I was just using Arial and others, no behavioral change. Example 2: ద్రవ్యం The letter is "Da" ->ద When added with "R" immediately, it becomes "dra" -> ద్ర , a supporting under form added to "da" Similarly the second letter is "va" -> వ When added with supporting letter y, it becomes "vya" ->వ్య , a supporting under form added to "va" Affinity is adding the Original forms of "Y" and "R" separately instead of adding supporting forms ... see the second screen .

Compare Gimp with Affinity for the same font. Gimp is correctly rendering, while Affinity scrambles. Same problem across all Affinity tools

I am also kind of stuck with the same issue. Though putting into Microsoft Word works, but not into Affinity Designer.

Once I click on the right node of the pressure profile, The left node doesn't move independently, but they become together. Here is an example. What is the problem with that? Only first time when I open pressure profile, the first node (lefT) is enabled for independent move. AffinityStrokeTrianglefail.mp4

Hi, While I type in Google input tools and use it in word, it puts correctly, but when put in Affinity Photo, with the same font as in Word, or any other font, it changes the glyphs and it becomes unreadable Ex: It shows correctly here दिल तो खोलो खिचिड़ी खालो
