Auto-hyphenation in Paragraph solved my problem. Thank you both!

Thank you, Tiger. You're right, The .txt file was part of the problem. Fixing that, I got Dutch to be shown as an option for hyphenation. But my text doesn't get hyphenated. Moving the .dic and .aff files from Spelling to nl_NL didn't work for me either.

Thank you, Walt, this brought me one step closer. Dutch now shows as an option for hyphenation. But still my text is not hyphenated.

Here another despairing user (Publisher 2.3.1, MacOS 14.3.1). What I tried to get hyphenation in Dutch working: downloaded the file hyph_nl_NL.dic.txt through the link on the FAQ page navigated to [user] > Library > Spelling created a new folder nl_NL moved het hyphenation file to this new folder restarted Publisher Dutch still doesn't show up as an option for hyphenation. The Auto setting doesn't do the trick. What to do?

Dear people at Affinity, this has been asked for for a long time. Please enlighten us: how much longer will we have to wait?

It does! Thank you – never thought I'd be so happy with such a depressing advice.

Agreed. Or even better, I'd say, if the Glyph browser would automatically show the glyphs of the font that is relevant at the cursor's position.

Hello, When using the fonts Preto Sans, Preto Semi and Preto Serif (by Jan Filipek, dizajndesign.sk), I get some strange results with the letter combinations ff, ffi, ft, fi and fj. Attempting to join them in a ligature, Publisher fails halfway: the f takes its ligature shape, but the next character follows after a space instead of snugly united with its neighbour. This problem does not occur when I use the Preto fonts in other, non-Affinity software. But then I haven’t seen this issue arise in Publisher with any other font than Preto (Dezen Pro, also by Jan Filipek, is behaving very well). Can this be solved?
