  1. I was hoping to see it in V2 but looks like it hasn't made it here yet. Kind of surprised if you ask me since it is a key part of any publication.
  2. I'm kind of surprised to see a publishing tool without the ability to easily create a bibliography.
  3. It would be nice to add the support for the Space Mouse. It's been a while. Is there an update?
  4. I would like to see a citation tool too. I do use this for some of my reports which are heavily referenced. I did my last report in Word since it has a very good citation manager that remembers references used from past projects. Word suffers from how it handles graphics making it very frustrating at times. I would say goodbye to Word for good if publisher had a citation manager similar in operation to Word.
  5. I would like to use a custom graphic as a bullet in a bulleted list. Is anyone familar with a way to make a jpeg image a custom bullet? Thanks, Steve
  6. @firstdefenceWow, that looks awesome! Did you happen to see the email from the Affinity Team about downloading the beta for Affinity Publisher?
  7. I was playing around with overlaying several images of the same patent text from different patents over each other with the hopes that it would 'clarify' the text. It sounded easy in my head but turned into a monster in reality. Resizing, rotating then making transparent... ugh.
  8. I must say that all the replies so far have been truly awesome. I am glad to see others find these fonts interesting since they are pretty much lost in time. I have looked through old census records and have found some people with amazingly elegant handwriting. I do believe the Cloister Black that Alfred found looks to be a good starting point. The next step is to modify the text with all the extra flair and embellishments.
  9. @firstdefence This is the best that I can do based on captures from scanned patents. I included several samples. Thanks for the interest and help! Steve
  10. Thank you for the effort and comments so far. I'm still kind of stymied on this one. I guess as a last ditch effort I can do my best recreation and hope for the best!
  11. I am trying to recreate the text used in patents back in the mid-1800s. I have found it extremely difficult to do with Affinity Designer and Illustrator (in the past). I have purchased Affinity Designer for the MAC but I fall into the casual user category. I have scanned the internet for help with little luck. I am not trying to create a new font set but just trying to create a clean copy of the attached United States Patent Office text as a vector image or whatever works the easiest. This is being used to recreate some old patents since very clean and crisp copies are not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Steve
