  1. Serif, (aka Canva) is going to die after V2, because they lost trust from India, as users couldn't leverage the tools for their profitability, and ended up paying for useless hype. I lost hope in them, as they don't have people who can fix this. They can only hype it to English speaking people going forward.
  2. .Affinity/Canva Guys have courtesy and courage to answer..is it a lack of competence in indic scripts? It's not a question of priority because it is pending for more than 5 years. It could have been prioritised ten times. I believe it's a competence question.
  3. Absolutely. With a software that can impact 20% of world population, they are least bothered. I guess it is a question of competence in this area, where affinity lacks but shies away to express it's helplessness. I have time and again asked them , but no response. Pathetic
  4. Guys years have passed, and developers are aware, does it have a logical closure? Even in V2.2.1... no update?
  5. Affinity has limited my ability to work in local languages... Please help
  6. 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.
  7. 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 .

  9. Compare Gimp with Affinity for the same font. Gimp is correctly rendering, while Affinity scrambles. Same problem across all Affinity tools
  10. I am also kind of stuck with the same issue. Though putting into Microsoft Word works, but not into Affinity Designer.
