    +1 Serif PagePlus does this. It would be good to see Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo doing the same. Even the free LibreOffice Writer has this functionality.

    Thanks, Dave. That's very helpful.

    Thanks, Mark.

    As you say, George, weird. I'm sorry that my 'help' wasn't any help! :(

    I don't have a Cintiq, or even an Intuos, but my humble little Volito2 offers a choice between 'Tap to click' and 'Hover click'. It sounds as though you want to choose the latter, probably in the 'Standard Gestures' section of the setup/preferences dialog.

    Yes, but ... after the beta phase is completed, how long are we likely to have to wait for the commercial version of the program? :unsure:
  8. Alfred
    I thought so too, but it looks as though this was intended as a supplementary question:

    Have you investigated the options offered by the Pixel Persona in Affinity Designer? It isn't anything like PhotoLab in DP and PP, but at least it allows you to work at the pixel level.

    I'm also not sure that looks quite right, Johnny. I think the head and tail of the arrow need to project more smoothly from the top of the circle, like this: I've attached an Affinity Designer file showing the construction. It was created in AD on Windows beta 1.5.0.10, so you will need the 1.5 beta version if you want to open it on a Mac. Edit: Looking again at your screenshot, it looks different from when I first saw it: it isn't kinked at the top, so it looks OK now. Have you replaced your original version with a new one?

    That ought to be OK if you're creating a PDF file for submission to a professional printer, but it isn't much use if you're printing the booklet yourself and you need pairs of pages correctly imposed.

    Thanks, Miguel. I don't know how I managed to stumble across it before! You could say it's "well" hidden....

    In a previous build there was a slider for adding noise to a fill: a great option, but I can't find it now! Has it gone, or have I simply been looking in the wrong places?

    Hey, that's supposed to be my speciality, not yours! I think DP also used to do a case-sensitive sort, but they fixed it a couple of versions ago. Thanks for the note about the ligs.
  15. Alfred
    Thanks for the suggestion, Mike, but it didn't work. I see from your screenshot that your copy is named 'Alpha Kufi'. My copy was, and still is, named 'alpha kufi regular', and clearing the checkbox for custom naming fields hasn't affected the sort order in AD.
  16. Alfred
    I've just taken another look at this, using the text "alpha kufi regular" as my test sample. The 'fi' in "kufi" disappeared, alerting me to the fact that the font includes a codepoint for the 'fi' ligature but there is no glyph at that codepoint, and the 'IJ/ij' problem has the same cause. If you expand the Typography section in the Character panel and disable Standard Ligatures, the 'fi' in "kufi" reappears (as does the 'IJ' in "IJailbreak" and the 'ij' in "Dijkstra").
  17. Alfred
    Oops! Apologies for the schoolboy error. Thanks. I can confirm that Inkscape clips that one correctly (and, unlike DP, it doesn't mess up the stripes).

    Take a look at James Ritson's Photo FAQs thread. The tutorial on displacement maps should be of particular interest if you're trying to wrap text around a 3D object.

    The code that you pasted in your subsequent message reveals (in the 'desc' tag element) that the original file is here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Flag_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.svg I can confirm that the top and bottom groups of stars are not clipped in AD, but I see the same in both Inkscape and Serif DrawPlus.
  20. Alfred
    Let's hope so. It doesn't affect me because I don't have an Epson printer, but it's obviously quite an annoying bug!
  21. Alfred
    Is that a rhetorical question, and is this another one? :P In AD on Windows, I can dismiss the splash screen by clicking anywhere on the screen, or by pressing the Escape key.
  22. Alfred
    However, Affinity Designer may not be the ideal choice for documents of a hundred pages or more. The Mac beta of Affinity Publisher is still a few months away, and I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait for many months after the release of the commercial version before we see the Windows beta.

    I've just installed the font 'alpha kufi regular' to troubleshoot a question about it. When I looked for the font in Affinity Designer on Windows, I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to find it because it has a lowercase name. The sorting of the list of font names should not be case sensitive.
  24. Alfred
    I've just downloaded that font from DaFont.com, and I see the same behaviour in Affinity Designer on Windows (beta version 1.5.0.10). I also discovered that AD does case-sensitive sorting of the font names on the dropdown list, so I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to find the lowercase name 'alpha kufi regular'. Edit: Your "iJailbreak" example works OK, as does "Ijailbreak", because they're mixed case. If they're both lowercase as in "ijailbreak" or both uppercase as in "IJAILBREAK" then the 'i' and 'j' (or 'I' and 'J') disappear.

    If you set the printer scaling to 50%, do you get the whole photo on your A4 page or do you just get a quarter of it at A6 size?
