The ⫸ symbol is also included in Cambria, Quivira, Segoe UI Symbol, Symbola and a few other readily available fonts. https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2af8/fontsupport.htm

No, I didn’t know about that! Very bad news for anyone who doesn’t have access to older versions of Windows.

One way would be to duplicate the objects, fill the original (i.e. bottom) copies with black, make them semi-transparent and apply a Gaussian blur, and then shear/skew as desired. If you really must have a perspective shadow, you would need to warp the shapes so that they taper as they stretch further away from the boys’ feet.

I’m inclined to agree, but the thing is that Kat said “Nothing happens when I click it” (which suggests that she didn’t see the tooltip) and I’m sure that many other users will react the same way.

No, I didn’t mean a tooltip that displays when you hover over the button — which tells you what the button is designed to do — I meant a message that pops up after you click on the button, describing the outcome of your action.

It would be good if a brief message were to pop up when you use it, rather than leaving the user to think that

If you only want a partial ellipse, it’s probably easiest if you add the text after trimming rather than before.

Are you perhaps referring to the E-13B MICR symbols?

There is no such raster/vector dichotomy in the Affinity apps. Affinity Photo 2 Help: Layer masking Affinity Designer 2 Help: Layer clipping

Although Lorem ipsum filler text is based on Latin and therefore looks like Latin, it isn’t actually Latin.

Since it’s a monospaced font, it follows that the space character will have the same advance width as all the other characters. Given the context, I’m surprised that the answer isn’t glaringly obvious! Abelmoschus esculentus

You left out the space bar!

If your intended output size is A4, there’s no good reason to change the document dimensions from 210 mm × 297 m. What you need is more pixels per unit of measurement. Try changing the DPI from 300 to 600, or even 1200, and then check the result at 100% zoom in your PDF viewer.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Sara. That’s because only the basic brushes produce pure vector strokes. All other ‘vector’ brushes produce vector paths with raster textures laid down on those paths.

JPEG files can be either RGB or CMYK, but the PNG file format only supports RGB. However, a PNG image with alpha transparency uses 8 bits for the alpha channel, so that’s a total of 32 bits.

Why is the trial period so short now? The standard trial period used to be ten days, and many prospective users felt that wasn’t long enough (especially for those who have a full-time job); even if you add on the 14-day money back guarantee period for purchases from the Affinity Store, you’re still talking about less than a month in total.

Which would in turn necessitate extensive testing to make sure that those changes don’t break anything. All in all, a huge investment of time and effort (and therefore money).

Yes, it is, on both OSs. In version 1, an unclosed curve is automagically closed before the ‘Add’ command is executed, so the result is very different.

Bedankt

Confirmed here. And it doesn’t work in version 2 on iPadOS, either.

Menus don’t have buttons, they only have entries or options. Can’t you simply post a screenshot? Why are you so reluctant to show us what you’re trying to work with??

At 96 ppi, 168.6 mm is 638 px (i.e. 2 px less than 640 px). Maybe that means something, or not!

@NotMyFault has pointed the way:

It will be a Curve object rather than a Curves object, because it will consist of a single closed path. Neither do I, for what it’s worth.
