@thadeusz -- Thanks for the information!

I can't get the EM space to work in type 1 fonts. Is this a known problem. It works fine with True Type Fonts. The only way around it was to type a "M" where it is needed and color it white to match the background. Is there anyone having the same problem? Is there another workaround other than what I'm doing?

Great! I'll give that a try. Cheers!

Yeah, I believe using a rich black will work, but it will be a shiny black which some of my customer's do not want. You could try this: create a custom black made up of 1% Cyan, !% Magenta, 1% Yellow, and 100% black. This should knock out, and not be a shiny black. I haven't tried this with Affinity yet, but have done so using Quark Xpress, and InDesign.

I hope to see more control over Knockouts and Overprinting an object in the hands of the designer. Generally, you would want a large black heading to knockout of a background image; however, if smaller black type is also on a background image you would want it to overprint because if you select it to knockout you could have trapping issues when printed on a commercial press. I hope to see the ability to select items on a page and manually set it to either knockout or overprint. Right now from what I see you can only control black type to either KO or OP, but not both. This affects all black type on the page. The problem is you have no control over which black type is to KO, or which is to OP. Is this a possibility in the future?
