Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Delphine. At 300 dpi, 9000 px is 30 inches. That’s a pretty big logo, and the typical viewing distance is likely to be 30 inches or more, so you probably don’t need it to be more than 4500 px × 4500 px (so that you can output it at 150 dpi). JPEG is a raster (only) format, but your PDF version should be pure vector as long as you haven’t applied any effects that produce raster results. As long as you retain the working document in *.afdesign format, you can always return to it for any changes you want to make.

That aside, I don’t think the Transform Studio behaves differently in the two versions. Tap on any value in the Transform Studio to make the pop-up calculator appear.

I don’t understand your steps 1 and 2. In particular, I don’t understand where nodes b and d come from. The line X at step 3 is just a straight line between nodes a and c. There is no straight line segment there: those two nodes are only connected to each other via the curve with the cusp at the bottom. What you’ve shared on Dropbox (why not directly here?) is this: As I said in my previous post: In other words, choose the Node Tool, select both the upper curve (whose fill you want to get rid of) and the lower curve, and choose the ‘Join Curves’ option to give you one curve instead of two.

You can marquee-select multiple nodes and then press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the selected nodes in a single operation.

Not as far as I’m aware. I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean. Can you express it in a different way (perhaps in your native language if you’re not sure how else to say it in English).

No need to guess! That’s exactly what happened. If you fill an unclosed curve which has start and end nodes that don’t coincide, you get this: Join that curve to the other one (and, optionally, close it) to get the result you want.

You can’t trace with the Node Tool! Are you trying to adjust an existing trace outline? If you use the Pencil Tool with ‘Sculpt’ mode enabled, you can continue from where you left off.

I’m pretty sure there aren’t any that have both identically shaped and identically coloured pieces!

FWIW, there are actually some commercially available jigsaw puzzles whose pieces are all the same shape (so that solving the puzzle is entirely dependent on matching adjacent elements of the picture).

As Walt advised: Simply typing @stokerg doesn’t have the desired effect. You don’t need to type the entire username, you just need to type enough of the name to make it appear on the list so that you can click on it.

Hasn’t Walt answered that question already?

Not ideal, I know, but you can cheat by exporting to PDF and then renaming the resultant *.pdf files to *.ai so that Adobe Illustrator will open them without complaint.

You’re very welcome. Thanks for the feedback! Edit: It may prove useful to have the baseline grid turned on to keep further updates well regulated, but you’d need to adjust the grid spacing accordingly.

I imagine that much the easiest way to make sure that each line segment has a different thickness is to keep them as separate objects, but grouped. That will allow you to select and adjust any of them without affecting the others.

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, @WAF. Are you using a baseline grid? It sounds as though your attempted 13 pt line spacing is jumping to the next whole multiple of 12 pt.

In a proportional font, M is wider than average and i is narrower. Imposing a monospace look (e.g. by careful tracking and kerning) will result in large gaps between letters other than M and W, and especially huge gaps around narrow letters.

Not bad. What do you think yourself? Do you see anything you’d like to improve?

Are you unsure how to proceed?

It is perhaps worth noting that many (most?) of the individual words in standard ‘Lorem ipsum’ text are not scrambled, but (generally speaking) the sentences are scrambled/nonsensical.

Why the separate thread?

If you really want to keep the outline around the words, you could create a custom shape with the Pen Tool. A simpler approach would be to use a regular parametric shape like this:

The link takes you to a list of results relating to a search for posts about variable fonts. To cut a long story short, the Affinity apps don’t currently support variable fonts. You need to uninstall the variable version(s) and replace them with the fonts which you’ll find in the ‘static’ folder that will have been created when you unzipped the download.
